Local notes

Ordering from Princeton, New Jersey

Sizes, customs rules and sending fabric from the USA: ordering from the USA.

From campus to Princeton Junction

Students and staff at Princeton University spend a lot of time walking between buildings, and commuters often take the Dinky shuttle to Princeton Junction for the Northeast Corridor train. A knee-length kurta with straight pants, in a cotton that does not crease badly, looks neat at both ends of the trip. Our guide to the straight kameez shows the cut.

Central Jersey seasons

Winters here bring snow and a damp cold, so khaddar or marina, lined, makes a good winter suit. Summers turn hot and humid, and lawn takes over from late May. Autumn on campus is the season for linen and light layers; our autumn layering guide has ideas.

Suits from Oak Tree Road, stitched in Pakistan

Many Central Jersey shoppers buy suits on Oak Tree Road in Edison or online. To have one stitched, send photos through the USA quote form first; we confirm the fabric and quantity before you ship it to Pakistan. If you work in Philadelphia or New York and have no time for the post office, Fabric + Stitching means we supply the fabric instead. See the USA page for more.
