Sethi House T-Shirt
-
Handwoven
Handloom cloth is made by hand from end to end. Yarn is wound onto the warp beam of a pit loom, the khaddi, and woven one pick at a time: the weaver opens the shed with the treadles, throws the shuttle across and beats each row into place with the reed. The slubs and small shifts in tension stay in the cloth. That is the point.

The Sethi House T-Shirt takes its name from the Sethi Mohalla of Peshawar — a neighbourhood of merchant havelis whose walls are carved with so much detail they seem to breathe. This tee carries that same density of thought: a garment that refuses to be simple.
Built on a zinc jersey base, the shirt combines three distinct embellishment techniques on one canvas. Multi-head machine embroidery works the khaddar patches sewn to the front and back, each patch derived from architectural motifs. The back carries a full screen-printed artwork composition, while the chest bears a clean screen-printed RASTAH logo that anchors the visual weight.
Zinc is the quiet choice — neither the safety of black nor the noise of colour. It lets the patches speak. The khaddar panels break the jersey surface with texture, a material contrast that signals craft before the eye even processes the design beneath.
The Sethi merchants were known for commissioning work that outlasted them — havelis built to hold memory across generations. This shirt operates in that spirit: layers of process, materials that have history, and a silhouette that belongs to now.

Cotton is warped onto a wooden khaddi and woven one throw of the shuttle at a time. The slubs and small shifts in the weave stay in the cloth. That's the point.
