What to gift your father this Diwali
He has never once asked you for anything. Every Diwali you end up back at sweets and dry fruit, because nothing else feels safe. A kurta still wins, and here is how to pick one without guessing.
Why a kurta still wins
Fathers wear a kurta on the day anyway, for the puja and for the family photo. Gifting one he actually likes means he reaches for it instead of the older one at the back of the cupboard. It is a gift that gets used, not kept in the box.
If you do not know his exact size
Pull out a kurta he already owns and measure it flat: chest, length, shoulder and sleeve. Every product page here lists the same four numbers for the actual garment, so you can match without a single guess. Still unsure? Message us on WhatsApp with his height and his usual shirt size, and someone from the shop floor will tell you.
Colours that work for every father
Navy and royal blue are the safest first gift. Bottle green and mauve chikankari are the next step up, for a father who already wears colour with confidence. None of them need explaining at the function.
Questions we hear at the counter
What if he does not like the fit?
Walk into either of our Delhi shops within 7 days with the order number, and exchange it for another size on the spot.
Can I gift this without knowing his exact size?
Yes. Compare our size chart against a kurta he already owns, or message us his height and shirt size on WhatsApp.
Is there a safe colour if I am not sure what he likes?
Navy. It is the one colour every father in our 54 years at the counter has agreed on.
Does it come as a set?
Yes, kurta and pajama together, in every size.
