original madras trading company

Founded in 1973 by Ranjit Shah, who emigrated from Chennai to New York City with a suitcase of fabric swatches, Original Madras Trading Company (OMTC) began as a premier textile supplier to American menswear giants. Now run by third-generation owner Prasan Shah, the New York-based brand launched its own eponymous clothing label in 2020. OMTC is defined by its unwavering commitment to authentic Indian craftsmanship, specifically the production of pure cotton, yarn-dyed Madras cloth.
