Hand Block-Printed
Block printing is one of the oldest ways of putting pattern on cloth in South Asia. A drawing is transferred to a block of seasoned wood and carved by hand, so the pattern stands proud of the surface. Charged with dye and pressed down, the block leaves one repeat. Set side by side, impression after impression, the repeats become the cloth. Every piece is printed with natural dyes, and every block is carved by hand, so no two blocks are the same.

Handwoven
Handloom cloth is made by hand from end to end. Yarn is wound onto the warp beam of a pit loom, the khaddi, and woven one pick at a time: the weaver opens the shed with the treadles, throws the shuttle across and beats each row into place with the reed. The slubs and small shifts in tension stay in the cloth. That is the point.

Nishan means mark — the kind left behind on purpose. Every culture has its marks: symbols carved into doorways, motifs pressed into fabric, logos cut into stone. The Nishan Jacket is RASTAH's version of that act — a garment built from marks, old and new, layered onto a frame that moves through the present.
The base is a denim coach jacket, structured and clean in silhouette. Across its surface runs an all-over block print, applied directly to the fabric before construction. Traditional motifs laser-cut from hand-woven khaddar are then placed and fixed onto the shell — each one derived from South Asian architectural and textile heritage. At the back, a laser-cut Urdu RASTAH logo anchors the composition.
The coach jacket silhouette is globally legible. The block print, khaddar laser cuts, and Urdu logo turn it into something that could only come from one specific place. That tension — between the universal format and the deeply local detail — is what makes the Nishan Jacket land.
The marks we leave say more than we realise. This jacket is one of those marks — worn by someone who understands that the symbols you choose to carry are a form of statement.
