Nomad Sari Grandad Shirt - Grey Stone - Medium

Both share the same relaxed, collarless shape and are artisan-made in Nepal from cotton. The Kathmandu styles use calmer base colours with a decorated or hand-painted pocket detail. The Grandad styles are distinguished by their colourful vertical stripes and practical flap pocket. The Kathmandu shirts also extend into larger sizing on selected designs.

The cut is traditionally sold as a men’s shirt, but the straight, relaxed shape works well as unisex clothing. Women often wear this style open over a T-shirt or vest. It is much better to show customers the actual chest measurements than to become involved in translating men’s sizes into women’s sizes.

They are designed for a relaxed fit, but customers should still measure rather than relying on their usual size letter.

Not every design is produced in XXL, so check the available variants when ordering.

If their chest measurement sits comfortably inside the stated range, the normal size should leave room for a light T-shirt. Customers at the upper end of a size—or those wanting a particularly loose overshirt look—will usually be happier going up. The tape measure settles this argument better than the label.

Always follow the garment care label. The safest treatment is to hand wash separately in cold water with a mild detergent, reshape while damp and line dry. Avoid bleach, long soaking and tumble drying. Iron on a moderate setting from the reverse and never place a hot iron directly onto a hand-painted pocket.

Cotton can shrink when exposed to hot water or a hot dryer, so these should not be sold as shrink-proof unless the label specifically says so. Stronger colours may release a little dye during the first wash; cold water and washing separately will help protect both the shirt and the rest of the laundry.

The supported claim is that the shirts are made in Nepal from cotton. Do not describe the cotton as organic, Nepal-grown or Fairtrade-certified. “Artisan-made in Nepal” and “fairly traded” tell the genuine story without adding claims that cannot be proved.
