Description

• Fabric: khadi handloom cotton body, hand-spun and hand-woven

• Band: Newari woven cloth, black with zigzag and diamond lines, in one strip from collar to hem down the right front

• Trim: the same weave faces the band collar, the half placket, the pocket mouth and both sleeve hems

• Closure: pullover with four buttons on a half placket; short sleeves, straight hem

Newar men of the Kathmandu Valley keep a formal dress, the long tapalan shirt with suruwa trousers, and an everyday wardrobe that borrows its colour from the same looms. This shirt belongs to the second: a short-sleeve khadi shirt that takes the black Newari band cloth, zigzags and diamonds picked out in red, green, white and orange, and runs it in a single strip from the collar to the hem.

The body is khadi, hand-spun and hand-woven cotton with a dry, slubbed hand that breathes through a Valley summer. The band is set down the right front, the collar and the half placket are faced in the same cloth, four dark buttons close the placket, and the chest pocket on the left carries a strip of the weave across its mouth; both sleeve hems are banded to match. The hem is straight, cut to be worn outside the trousers. Each shirt is cut only after you order and checked for fit, finishing and cultural accuracy before it ships. Each one is tailor-made to your measurements — after ordering, Bhutib contacts you directly to confirm fit and preferences.

Wear it with the black Newari topi with patterned bands for Mha Puja, Indra Jatra and Bisket Jatra, or with plain trousers on any working day; it joins the waistcoat, cholo and shawl of Newari dress. Each shirt is stitched for Bhutib in the Eastern Himalayan hills.

Garment type Short-sleeve pullover shirt, band collar, half placket
Band Loom-woven Newari cotton, one vertical strip down the right front
Cultural wear Newar men, for Mha Puja, Indra Jatra, Bisket Jatra, guthi feasts and everyday wear
Styling With a Newari topi; under the Newari waistcoat on formal days

Questions buyers ask

Is this a tapalan? No. The tapalan is the long Newar shirt that reaches the knee and closes with cloth ties. This is a short-sleeve shirt that borrows the Newari weave for its band and trim.

Is the band woven or printed? Woven. The pattern is built into the cloth on the loom, so the lines sit slightly raised and the colours do not fade the way a print does.

Do I have to be Newar to wear it? No. The band cloth is a Kathmandu Valley signature, and the shirt is cut for anyone who wants that colour on an everyday khadi shirt.

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.
