The Kashmiri Pheran is a traditional garment designed for warmth and comfort. Unlike fitted kurtas, Pherans are cut loosely to allow for layering underneath (thermals, sweaters, etc.).
Key Fit Note: Pherans typically have a margin of 4–6 inches over your actual body chest measurement to ensure the traditional drape and comfort.

> Note: “Chest (Garment)” refers to the measurement of the Pheran itself, not your body. For the best fit, choose a garment size that is 4-6 inches larger than your body bust measurement.
How to Measure
To ensure you order the perfect size from Kashmir Online Shopping, please follow these measurement steps:
1. Chest (Bust)
- Measure around the fullest part of your bust.
- Keep the tape measure straight and snug, but not tight.
- Example: If your body bust measures 36 inches, you should order a Small (40″ Garment Chest) to allow for the standard 4-inch looseness.
2. Shoulder
- Measure from the tip of one shoulder bone across your back to the tip of the other shoulder bone.
- Pheran shoulders are often “drop-shoulder” style, so they may sit slightly wider than a fitted shirt.
3. Length
- Measure from the highest point of the shoulder (near the neck) down to the hem.
- Standard Pherans fall below the knee to mid-calf.
4. Sleeve
- Measure from the shoulder joint down to the wrist.
- Traditional Pherans often have slightly wider sleeves to accommodate layers.
