The daura suruwal is Nepal’s national dress for men — a cross-over tunic tied rather than buttoned, worn over trousers cut full at the seat and narrow at the ankle. Adding the istakot and the topi is what moves it from ordinary dress to festival dress, and it is how a Nepali man turns up when the whole male side of a family is dressed alike.

The tunic cloth is dry to the touch and matte, closer to a fine suiting than to shirting — it holds a crease through a long day and sits away from the skin in heat. Its edges are bound in a narrow Dhaka-patterned band that runs the full diagonal of the wrap, around the stand collar, over both cuffs, along the hem and its side slits, and again at the trouser ankles. Two fabric ties close the daura, one inside and one out, so nothing interrupts the line of the chest. The istakot is built differently: four buttons down a V-front, a welt pocket at the chest and two at the hip, and a plain dark back panel with a buckle strap to draw the waist in.

Worn as four pieces it reads as one outfit; taken apart, the istakot sits over a plain shirt and the topi finishes anything. Each piece is tailor-made to your measurements — after ordering, Bhutib contacts you directly to confirm fit and preferences, including the daura and suruwal lengths. Bhutib has been making Himalayan ethnic wear in Kalimpong since 2024, alongside tailors who stitch this same set for their own families.

Questions people actually ask

Will it fit if I’ve never been measured?

Yes. Choose your usual size. Before we cut, we message you on WhatsApp for two numbers — your chest or bust at the fullest part, and your height — and adjust the pattern to you. A tape and two minutes is all it takes.

What if it doesn’t fit when it arrives?

We alter it free. Courier it back to us in Kalimpong (that leg is on you); we adjust it and pay the courier back to you. Or take it to a tailor near you — every piece is cut with margin for a small local adjustment.

Is there anything to pay on top of the price?

No. Delivery is free across India and the price includes tax, so the amount you see is the amount you pay. Two exceptions, both quoted before you order: a size above 4XL carries a small surcharge for the extra cloth, and a personal customisation beyond a standard size is confirmed with a 10% advance on the order; the rest is paid on delivery, as usual.

Can I cancel, or change the size or colour?

Before we cut, yes — tell us on WhatsApp and nothing is lost. After cutting, the piece is made to your measurements and cannot go back into stock; if it does not fit, we alter it free.

I’m buying for someone I can’t measure — what do I do?

Choose their usual size and add their WhatsApp number in the order notes. We confirm the rest with them, or with you, before we cut.

Need a size we do not list?

We cut it. Smaller than the smallest size shown, larger than the largest, and for babies and children too. Message us the measurements on WhatsApp; for a child we need chest, shoulder-to-foot length and sleeve length. Above 4XL the extra cloth carries a small surcharge, quoted before you pay.

Can it come faster?

Sometimes. Tell us your date before you order and, if a faster courier reaches your pincode, we quote the difference. Either way, tell us the date and we cut yours first.

Will it reach me before my date?

Allow 6–9 working days from the day you confirm your measurements, anywhere in India, a little longer for remote pincodes. Tell us the date in the order notes or on WhatsApp and we plan around it.

Do you ship outside India?

Not through this website yet; it ships within India only. Message us on WhatsApp and we will arrange it, or order from our Etsy shop, which ships worldwide with free shipping.

Is the colour the same as the photo?

The photos are of the actual cloth in daylight; screens differ a little. To be sure, ask us on WhatsApp for a photo of the cloth before we cut.
