Local notes

Ordering from Syracuse, New York

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

On the hill: campus sets

For students and staff at Syracuse University or SUNY Upstate, a kurta has to cope with steep walks, overheated lecture halls and long library evenings. A band-collar co-ord with wide-leg pants is comfortable for all of that, and any of our designs can be customized with full sleeves or a shorter length. Cotton and cambric wash easily between wears.

A winter wardrobe that copes

Snow can arrive in November and stay into spring. Khaddar and karandi hold warmth, a lining keeps the kameez smooth over a thermal, and full sleeves finished neatly at the cuff sit well under a parka. If you want one outfit for Eid in the cold months, linen or velvet with delicate embroidery at the neckline looks festive without feeling flimsy.

Summer and the State Fair

When late August brings the Great New York State Fair, the weather can be warm and sticky, and lawn with elbow sleeves is the easy choice. Measure at home in inches, send the numbers through the USA quote form, and choose Fabric + Stitching or Stitching Only. Our USA page explains both.

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.

  • Fabric + Stitching

    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
Can I order before the semester starts and have it shipped to campus?

We ship to the address you give when the order goes ahead. Shipping time is added to the 5 to 7 working days of making and varies, so leave plenty of margin.

Can you stitch a suit my mother sent me from Pakistan?

Yes, subject to fabric suitability and sufficient quantity. Send photos first. Once we confirm it, you ship it back to Pakistan for stitching, and the finished outfit comes back to you.
