Shri Nathji would always be seen wearing a new achkan, which had been especially tailored for the occasion. Mateshwari, despite the financial constraints, would ensure that all of Shri Nathji’s clothes were made by the best of tailors. Lilaram of Lahore was on of the favorites along with British firm of Ranken and Company and Trevillion and Clark of Mussoorie besides others.
Lilaram tailors were cloth merchant with a tailoring department. There company was called B Lilaram & sons and was located in Lahore which was their head office and they also had a branch in Delhi, Lucknow, Mussorie and Nainital.B ellow I am posting the photo of the shop of B Lilaram & sons which I was able to source from the old Hindi movie namedLahore staring Starring Karan Dewan and Nargis. Though the movie was released in 1949 but its shooting was done some time before.
