Prakhar – Opaque Starch White Shirt (Half Sleeve)
Prakhar is our premium opaque starch white shirt. The dense weave is less see-through than our classic shirt and has an extra-crisp finish, so you look sharp at weddings, functions and on important days.
The photos show the full-sleeve Prakhar. The half-sleeve shirt is made from exactly the same fabric, with the same finish.

Keeping it crisp
Your shirt is at its stiffest when new and softens a little with each wash. To keep the same crispness, starch it once every 2–3 washes. Wash with whites only.
Why we don't accept returns or exchanges
A starched white shirt can't be folded back to new once it has been opened or tried on, and white fabric picks up marks easily. So every shirt we send is fresh and untouched, and we can't resell one that has been opened. Please check the size chart before ordering. If you have any doubts, talk to us before you buy.
The name
