Houses We Buy From
Twenty-six mills, direct

How to pick cloth well
Weight before colour
In Surat, anything above 300 g/m will be worn twice a year at most. Decide the season first — the colour will still be there afterwards.
Crush it in your hand
Hold a corner tightly for five seconds and release. Good worsted recovers almost completely; honest linen does not, and should not pretend to.
See it in daylight
We carry every bolt to the window. Shop light flatters greys and lies about blues — a navy that looks black indoors is not the navy you wanted.
Buy the length once
A bolt is finite and dye lots differ. If the cloth is right, take enough for trousers twice — we will store the extra for you, free.
By Appointment
Spend an hour in the fabric rooms
Bring a garment you already love and we will find its cloth, or something better. No obligation to commission.
