Who we are
Linen cut for Chennai’s heat, not for a catalogue.
We started in 2011 as a two-man alteration shop behind Luz Church. Today eight tailors cut and finish every shirt upstairs, and the same men take in your sleeve when it is a centimetre too long.
Shirts, trousers and kurtas in pure linen and mulmul, cut in our Mylapore workroom and altered free until they fit. Free alterations for life on anything you buy from us: sleeves, length, waist and taper, usually done while you wait.

What we stand for
Three things we will not change
Fit before fashion
Every piece can be altered free, for as long as you own it.
Honest fabric
We print the lea count and the fibre mix on every label, so you know what you are paying for.
Made upstairs
Our shirts are cut and stitched above the shop, not bought in from a catalogue.
Bring the shirt back. We will make it fit.
Free alterations for life on anything you buy from us: sleeves, length, waist and taper, usually done while you wait.

What customers say
Sample reviews, written for this demo. Real customer reviews replace them on your store.
I am 6 ft 2 and shirts never fit my arms. They added two centimetres to the sleeves and it took twenty minutes.
The white shirt has been through a whole summer of washing and still looks right.
Ordered the co-ord set for my brother’s engagement. Hemmed before it was shipped, arrived in two days.
New linen, first Friday of the month.
