Shirts — overview
Formal and casual cotton shirts in solids, checks and stripes, in regular and slim fits for retail, uniform and wholesale buyers. It belongs to our men's casual & formal wear range, part of the garments & apparel division of Hurain Garments Exporter.
Men's casual and formal wear is the largest single line in India's apparel exports, and the one importers reorder most often. Tiruppur and Ludhiana make knitted T-shirts and polos, Ahmedabad and Bengaluru make denim and woven shirts, and Mumbai and Delhi NCR make trousers and cargo wear. We work with factories in these clusters so a buyer can put jeans, shirts, T-shirts and trousers on one purchase order and one container.
Every style is sampled before bulk. We agree the fabric, wash, fit block, size ratio, label and packing on a pre-production sample, then inspect against that sample at 100% for measurements and visual defects on an AQL basis before the goods are loaded.

About our shirts
A shirt looks simple, but it carries more construction decisions than almost any other garment: collar shape, interlining, stitches per inch, seam allowance and button quality all show up in how the shirt looks after ten washes. Indian shirt factories in Bengaluru, Delhi NCR, Kolkata and Tiruppur are used to supplying European and American brands, and we place orders with units that already pass retail audits.
We specify poplin and Oxford fabrics by thread count and weight, and ask for a shrinkage and colour-fastness test on each fabric lot before cutting. For checks and stripes, yarn-dyed fabric is woven specifically for your design, which is why the minimum is set by fabric metres rather than garment pieces.
Corporate and uniform buyers often need the same shirt reproduced for years, so we keep fabric codes, patterns and size grading on file and can match a previous order exactly, including shade, when the next order comes.

Shirts made in bulk to your colour, size and design
You are not limited to stock designs. We make shirts in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply. A reference garment, a tech pack, a sketch or even a photograph is enough to start.
How it works: send a Pantone code or fabric swatch for colour and we return a lab-dip; send your size chart and the ratio you want in each carton; send artwork, print, embroidery or label files for the design. We make a sample for approval and then produce the bulk to that approved sample, so the order you receive matches the one you signed off.
- Colour: White, blue, sky, grey, black and navy solids, plus yarn-dyed checks and stripes; custom colourways on yarn-dyed orders.
- Size: Collar 14–18.5 inches or S–3XL, sleeve lengths regular and long; slim, regular and comfort fit blocks.
- Design and branding: own check and stripe designs on yarn-dyed fabric, embroidered logos for corporate shirts, custom collar and cuff shapes and private-label packing and hang tags.
