Louis Philippe sits at the premium end of the Indian formal market, and the difference is visible in the cloth. Finer yarns, better giza cottons, more considered finishing — the shirts feel and drape closer to something made-to-measure than to standard ready-made. It is the label we point people toward when they want a noticeable step up without commissioning bespoke.
What we stock
We stock Louis Philippe formal shirts in their finer cotton lines, formal trousers, and a selection of their jackets and blazers. The permanent-press and giza cotton shirts are the ones worth the money — the hand of the cloth is genuinely different, and they age well rather than thinning after a season.
For customers building a serious working wardrobe on a budget that does not stretch to full bespoke, a few Louis Philippe shirts altered to fit is, in our honest opinion, better value than a larger number of cheaper shirts.
Fit notes — what to expect
The cut is closer and more European than most Indian labels, with a defined waist and a slightly shorter, cleaner body. If you are used to a generous classic fit, the equivalent size here will feel noticeably trimmer.
Because the cloth is finer, fit errors show more. A shirt that is slightly too big will look untidy rather than relaxed. This is a label where the alteration genuinely matters, and we would rather adjust it properly than sell it as-is.
Altered in-house, by our own tailors
Every garment bought at Sellers can be altered in-house before you take it home. We keep a full bespoke workshop on the premises — the same master tailors who cut our made-to-measure suits will shorten a sleeve, take in a waist, taper a leg or adjust a shoulder. Most alterations are done the same week; simple hemming is often done while you wait.
This is the practical difference between buying a shirt at Sellers and buying the same shirt anywhere else in Chennai. A ready-made garment is cut for an average body. Yours is not average. The alteration is what closes that gap, and it is included in the way we work rather than treated as an afterthought.
Where to find it
You will find the full range at 3 Sardar Patel Road, Adyar — a few minutes from Adyar Signal, with our own bespoke workshop on the premises. Stock moves quickly across sizes and seasons, so if you are looking for something specific it is worth calling ahead on +91 91761 22221 and we will keep it aside.
