Local notes

Ordering from Rochester, New York

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

Photograph your fabric like a pro

For Stitching Only, we judge your fabric from pictures before you ship anything. Lay each piece flat near a window during the day, shoot it whole and then close up, and include the label. Indoor lighting turns colors yellow, and a flash hides the weave. Our guide to photographing fabric for a quote walks through it. Once we confirm the fabric and quantity, you ship it to Pakistan yourself by a tracked service.

Lake Ontario winters and lilac season

Lake-effect snow off Lake Ontario makes for long, grey winters, so a lined karandi or khaddar suit earns its place from November. By May, when the Lilac Festival fills Highland Park, the city warms up, and a lawn kurta in a soft print feels right. Students at the University of Rochester or RIT can plan one of each.

Your quote and what it covers

Enter your measurements in inches or centimeters on the USA quote form. The written quote, in US dollars, euros or pounds sterling as you choose, covers the outfit, delivery to your address and any import duties, taxes and fees. Prefer us to choose the fabric? Fabric + Stitching means only one shipment, and the USA page explains the rest.

Two ways to order

Our fabric, or yours

Both are made to your measurements in Pakistan. The minimum order is one suit, and we don’t offer free samples.

    We supply the agreed fabric and make your outfit to your measurements. One parcel: the finished outfit shipped to you.

    • Fabric agreed with you before cutting
    • Minimum order one suit
    • No need to send anything
  • Stitching Only

    You supply suitable fabric, such as an unstitched suit, and we cut, stitch and finish it.

    • Two shipping stages: your fabric to us in Pakistan, then the outfit to you
    • Confirm suitability and quantity before sending
    • Minimum order one suit
