Ustad Tailors — H-block (est. 1969)

Cut by hand since 1969

Ustad Jiya learned the tailor's chalk in Krishan Nagar's lanes and opened his own counter in 1969 — one wooden table, one machine, and a rule he never broke: no garment leaves the shop unless the ustad himself has tried it on the hanger. In 1983 the shop moved to H-block market; in 1999 Jiya died at his machine, one October morning, with two suits on the rail. His grandson Umair runs the counter now, the chalk rule still holds, and the machine stands by the window — oiled every Sunday, warm every morning.

Umair — the third generation — books the fittings and keeps the ledger; Riaz, who cut beside Jiya for nineteen years, still does every coat shoulder by hand. The chalk rule is his rule now too: nothing leaves the shop untried.
