The Original Madras Trading Company was founded by Ranjit Shah after emigrating to New York from Chennai (formerly Madras) in the early 70s.

Setting up business in the cloth district, Shah offered the original ‘Madras’ cloth from his hometown to a respected clientele of “All-American” retailers, such as Ralph Lauren, Brooks Brothers & J.Crew among notable others. 

Since 2020, The OMTC under the steerage of Ranjit’s Grandson Prasan has been offering their own line of of clothing using the hand-loomed madras the company is so well knows for. Looked after by one master weaver from start to finish, the process in intricate and time consuming, taking 2-3 hours weave one meter of fabric.

This traditional method of weaving is true Madras, and the finished product is superior in every-way to any madras cloth woven on contemporary machines.


The Cuban Seersucker shirt utilises the hand looming technique beautifully, the by hand nature allowing for alternating yard tensions to be woven through a single piece of cloth giving it a distinctive multi-textured weave visually more striking than you average seersucker.
