Kurta-pajama fabric should be chosen by climate, opacity, drape and occasion rather than by a generic ‘premium’ label. These nine India-market cloth options range from everyday cotton to dressier Chanderi and silk. Buy a swatch where possible: pale colours need an opacity check in daylight, and the tailor needs the actual fabric width before calculating metreage.

Buying tips
- For a white or pale kurta, hold the fabric to daylight before buying; pajama fabric and underlayers change the final opacity.
- Pre-wash cotton, linen and khadi if the tailor recommends it, because shrinkage can alter the finished length.
- Choose easy cotton or cotton-linen for heat and regular wear; reserve Chanderi, silk and embroidery for occasions where drape and care are acceptable trade-offs.
