We ship across India within 7–10 business days from the date of order confirmation.

For metro cities (Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata), expect delivery within 5–7 business days. For other locations, it may take up to 7 business days.

You'll receive tracking information via email and WhatsApp once your order ships.

Not yet, but we're working on it.

Right now, Draft ships within India only. We're building out international logistics and will expand to select markets soon—likely starting with the US, UK, and Middle East.

If you're outside India and want to be notified when we start shipping to your region, email us at support@thedraftxx.com and we'll add you to the list.

Yes, but only if your order hasn't shipped yet.

Contact us immediately at support@thedraftxx.com or via WhatsApp, and we'll update the address. Once the order is in transit, we can't redirect it—but you can coordinate with the courier directly using your tracking number.

The courier will attempt delivery 2 times.

If you miss all attempts, the package will be returned to origin and you'll need to reorder (we'll refund the original order once we receive the return).

To avoid this, keep an eye on your tracking and coordinate with the courier if needed. We would not want you to miss out on your order so feel free to reach out to us at support@thedraftxx.com for any questions or concerns.

Not currently.

We're a small team focused on getting every order right rather than getting it out fast. That said, we're working on faster delivery options for select cities—stay tuned.

If tracking shows "Delivered" but you haven't received it, let us know immediately at support@thedraftxx.com. We'll contact the courier on your behalf and handle the investigation—you shouldn't have to chase this down yourself.

If tracking shows delays or other issues, reach out to us and we'll take care of it. We'll locate your package, coordinate with the courier, file claims if needed, or arrange a replacement shipment.

Your time matters. We don't believe in making you do the work when something goes wrong. Our job is to resolve it quickly and keep you informed every step of the way—that's the customer experience we're committed to delivering.

Yes. Once your order ships, you'll receive an email and WhatsApp with a tracking link.

You can also log into your Draft account and check order status under "My Orders."

We accept all major credit cards, debit cards, UPI, and net banking.

We use Razorpay for secure payment processing, which is India's most trusted payment processor—your card details are never stored on our servers.

Yes. All payments are processed through PCI-DSS compliant gateway Razorpay.

We don't store any of your card information. Your payment data is encrypted and handled entirely by the payment processor.

Not at the moment.

We're a direct-to-consumer brand focused on efficiency, and COD adds logistical complexity that would increase costs for everyone. We may introduce it in the future, but for now, we only accept prepaid orders.

There are a few common reasons:

• Insufficient funds or credit limit reached
• Your bank flagged the transaction as suspicious (happens with international payment processors)
• Incorrect card details (CVV, expiry date, etc.)
• Daily transaction limit exceeded

Try again, or contact your bank to authorize the payment. If it still doesn't work, reach out to us at support@thedraftxx.com or via WhatsApp and we'll help troubleshoot.

Yes. Once your order is confirmed, you'll receive a tax invoice via email.

If you need a GST invoice or have specific invoicing requirements for your business, let us know at support@thedraftxx.com and we'll accommodate it.

We offer a 14-day return window from the date of delivery.

If the product doesn't fit, doesn't meet your expectations, or you simply changed your mind—send it back. We'll process a full refund once we receive and inspect the item.

Conditions:

• Product must be unworn, unwashed, and in original condition with all tags attached
• Original packaging preferred (but not mandatory)
• You're responsible for return shipping costs unless the item is defective or we shipped the wrong product

Email us at hello@draftxx.com or WhatsApp us with:

• Your order number
• Reason for return
• Photo of the product (if defective or incorrect item)

We'll send you a return authorization and instructions. Pack the item securely and ship it to the address we provide. Once we receive and inspect it, we'll process your refund within 5–7 business days.

Yes—especially for sizing issues.

If you ordered the wrong size, we'll exchange it for a different size at no extra cost (subject to availability). Just reach out within 15 days of delivery, and we'll arrange the exchange.

For exchanges due to sizing, you're responsible for return shipping, but we'll cover the cost of shipping the replacement to you.

Contact us immediately with photos of the defect or damage at support@thedraftxx.com.

If it's a manufacturing defect or the product was damaged in transit, we'll arrange a free return and either send a replacement or issue a full refund (including original shipping costs).

We stand behind the quality of our products—if something's wrong, we'll make it right.

No. All sale items are final sale and cannot be returned or exchanged.

This is clearly marked on product pages during sale periods. If you're unsure about sizing or fit during a sale, reach out to us before ordering and we'll help.

5–7 business days after we receive and inspect your return.

Refunds are processed to the original payment method. Depending on your bank, it may take an additional 3–5 business days for the amount to reflect in your account.

If the product is otherwise in unworn, resellable condition, we'll still accept the return.

However, if there's any indication the item was worn, washed, or altered, we reserve the right to reject the return. When in doubt, reach out to us first.

Draft XX is a contemporary menswear brand making elevated casualwear for the man in the making—rooted in four generations of textile expertise from Shah Narayan Das (est. 1913) and Ekaya Banaras. Operating direct-to-consumer from New Delhi, Draft creates clothing for those who traded certainty for possibility.

A draft is a work in progress. It's not finished, and it's not supposed to be.

We believe the best version of yourself isn't something you arrive at—it's something you're constantly refining. Draft is for the man who's still building, still calibrating, still iterating.

The "XX" represents the unknown variable—the part of you that's still being written. We're not here to dress the person you are. We're here to dress the person you're becoming.

Belonging in motion. We don't make clothes for the sake of making clothes. Every piece exists because it solves a specific problem or fills a gap we couldn't find anywhere else.

Culture over category. We don't build clothing. We build a world. A world defined by elevated ambition—the intersection of refined taste and continuous evolution. For people who curate their surroundings with intention, who seek depth over convenience and craft over hype, while constantly refining who they're becoming. High agency. Never static. Shaping life, not shaped by it.

Draft isn't just another brand selling you clothes. It's an entry point into a way of living—one that values growth, discernment, and the quiet confidence that comes from knowing exactly who you're becoming.

Edited, not excessive. More options create more noise, not more clarity. We don't release 50 new pieces every season. We create what's worth creating—garments designed with purpose, built to work together, and meant to last years instead of trends. Every piece exists because it solves a problem or fills a gap we couldn't find elsewhere. Fewer decisions. Higher confidence.

Quiet authority. Confidence doesn't need logos or hype. It's in the fit, the drape, the construction that holds its shape after a hundred wears. Draft is for the person who knows that real authority comes from being the most considered, not the loudest.

We don't want our clothes to wear you. We want you to wear them—fully, intentionally, as an extension of who you're becoming. Our garments earn respect quietly, through craft that speaks for itself.

Because we're not trying to be everything to everyone.

Zara and H&M are built for accessibility and constant newness—new styles every week, broad appeal, predictable pricing. That works if you want options and volume.

Draft is built for specificity. We design fewer pieces, produce limited quantities, and focus on fit, drape, and the details that make a garment feel right on your body. You're paying for:

• Superior fabrics and blends — We source from specialized international mills that prioritize hand-feel, drape, and performance. Not the same commercial fabrics everyone else uses.
• Elevated designs that don't shout — Statement pieces without making too much of a statement. Garments that stand out through cut, proportion, and refinement—not logos or obvious branding.
• A clear point of view — We design elevated casualwear rooted in soft tailoring for a specific sensibility. Every piece has a reason to exist.
• Limited production — We don't make thousands of units. When something sells out, it's often gone. You're not wearing what everyone else is wearing.

If you want accessible and constantly rotating, Zara works. If you want intentional and distinct, that's Draft.

They're category-first. We're culture-first.

COS, Massimo, and Uniqlo are excellent at what they do—reliable, well-executed clothing across clear categories (minimalism, European tailoring, functional basics). They exist to sell you clothes that fit a need.

Draft exists to build a world you want to belong to.

We're not just selling elevated casualwear—we're creating a culture around elevated ambition. The intersection of refined taste and continuous growth. For people who curate their lives intentionally, who seek depth over convenience, and who are constantly evolving into better versions of themselves.

Yes, we compete on category—our fabrics, construction, and design stand up to (and often surpass) theirs. But we're not optimizing for being another option in your rotation. We're building a sensibility, a community, a way of living that our clothing represents.

COS gives you minimalism. Massimo gives you polish. Uniqlo gives you function. Draft gives you belonging—to a culture that values intention, discernment, and becoming.

You shouldn't—unless you want to.

If you've found what works and you're happy, stick with it. Draft isn't here to convince you that you need us.

We exist for the moment you think: "I wish I could find something that fits like Massimo but doesn't feel so mass-market." That's the gap we fill.

We're not better than what you're wearing—we're just different. And for some people, that difference matters. When it does, we'll be here.

We don't outsource fabric sourcing to the cheapest mill. We control it.

Our family has been in textiles since 1913—SND Textiles has supplied everyone from heritage menswear brands to independent tailors. The same fabrics we've been perfecting for a century are what Draft is built on.

That means:

• Superior hand-feel — The way fabric sits against skin and drapes on the body
• Better color fastness — Colors don't fade or bleed after repeated washes
• Structural integrity — Fabrics hold their shape, resist pilling, and age gracefully
• Attention to weave and weight — We choose the right fabric construction for each garment's purpose

Most brands spec fabrics from catalogs and hope for the best. We've been making the fabrics in those catalogs for over a century. You'll feel the difference.

Fair question.

Draft launched in 2025, but we come from four generations in textiles. Our family established SND Textiles in 1913 and founded Ekaya—both recognized names in India's textile and fashion industry, although in the womenswear space.

It is our first attempt at menswear but not at fashion. We're not a startup figuring things out. We grew up understanding fabric, construction, and what separates a well-made garment from a mediocre one. Draft is our entry into contemporary menswear—building something distinct while drawing on over a century of expertise in craft and quality.

You're not taking a risk on an unknown—you're discovering what happens when textile heritage meets a new vision.

Try it.

We offer a 14-day return window with no questions asked. If the fabric, fit, or construction doesn't meet your expectations—send it back.

But we're confident you'll keep it. We've been in textiles for 110 years. We know what good fabric feels like, how it should drape, and how it should age. If we wouldn't wear it ourselves, we don't sell it.

Not yet, but we're working on it.

Right now, Draft is online-only, which allows us to keep costs lower and pass those savings on to you. Retail markups are significant—avoiding them means better pricing without compromising quality.

That said, we're planning curated try-on events and potential studio visits in select cities. If you're in Delhi, stay tuned.

Until then, our detailed size guides, fabric descriptions, and return policy are designed to make online buying as risk-free as possible.

We don't operate on seasonal drops or weekly releases.

Draft releases collections when we have something worth saying—not because a calendar tells us to. You'll see new pieces a few times a year, designed to work with what you already own, not replace it.

We're building a wardrobe, not chasing trends.

Sometimes, but not always.

Draft isn't built on endless inventory. When a piece sells out, it's because we made a limited quantity. We may restock based on demand, but there's no guarantee.

If you see something you like, we'd recommend not waiting. Once it's gone, it's usually gone.

Draft is for the man building an elevated life—one defined by intention, discernment, and continuous growth.

You value depth over convenience. You seek out the curated space over the obvious choice. You're not chasing trends or logos—you're refining your taste and shaping your world with high agency.

You've probably worn Zara, Uniqlo, maybe COS or Massimo. They served a purpose. But somewhere along the way, you realized that looking like everyone else doesn't align with who you're becoming.

Draft is for the moment you want clothing that reflects the culture you're building, not just the category you're shopping. If that resonates, you're in the right place.
