Best 5 Men's Kurta Shops in Australia

Summary
A good kurta does a lot of work. It gets you through Diwali and Eid, family weddings, a puja at home, and plenty of ordinary evenings in between. Buying one in Australia is easier than it used to be — but the five shops here differ enormously on range, sizing and, most importantly, whether you can get your money back if the chest fits and the sleeves do not.
This guide compares them on real numbers, then shows you exactly how to measure your kurta size. Every figure was taken from their own websites on 25 September 2026 and is listed so you can check it.
Short answer — where should I buy a men's kurta in Australia? For the lowest landed price with free delivery and a refund if the fit is wrong, use Gleemium Fashion. For by far the widest choice and the broadest size range, use TDO Australia. If you are in Sydney and want to try one on, use House of Nepal. For simple everyday Pakistani-style kurtas with Melbourne and Sydney stores, use Junaid Jamshed. For polished wedding sets from a big-name brand, use Manyavar — noting its support runs on Indian hours and its policy is exchange-based.

Key Takeaways
- Refunds are not universal. Gleemium Fashion, TDO Australia and House of Nepal all refund. Junaid Jamshed is exchange-only within 15 days, and Manyavar's policy is exchange-based with no refunds for minor design or colour variation. [2][4][6][8][10]
- Biggest range by a mile: TDO Australia, with 648 kurta pajama sets in stock — more than the other four combined. [3]
- Widest sizing: TDO Australia, from chest 32 to 66. Gleemium Fashion and House of Nepal run 34–52; Junaid Jamshed uses XS–XXL. [1][3][5][7]
- Cheapest kurtas: House of Nepal opens at A$19 and Junaid Jamshed at A$25.80, but both have delivery thresholds. Gleemium starts at A$33.75 with free delivery and no minimum, so on a single kurta it lands cheapest. [1][5][7]
- Only one shop delivers free with no minimum spend: Gleemium Fashion. The others require A$125 (Manyavar), A$150 (Junaid Jamshed) or A$199 (House of Nepal), and TDO charges by parcel weight. [2][4][6][8][10]
- Three shops have physical stores you can walk into: House of Nepal (Auburn and Rockdale, Sydney) and Junaid Jamshed (Melbourne and Sydney). [6][8]
- Kurta sizing is a chest number, not S/M/L — 38, 40, 42 and so on. Measuring it properly takes two minutes. How to measure →
- If you are between sizes, size up. A slightly loose kurta reads as intentional; a tight one never does.
How We Compared These Shops
A kurta is a simple garment bought on a chest number, so we weighted the things that decide whether it works out:
- Returns — refund, exchange only, or neither. This is the sharpest difference between these five.
- Landed price — what you really pay in AUD once delivery is added.
- Sizing range — how many chest sizes are offered, and whether custom stitching is available.
- Range — how many men's kurtas are actually in stock.
- Delivery — free, charged, or free above a threshold, and how fast.
- Where it ships from — and whether you can walk into a store.
The Five Shops at a Glance
| Kurta price | Delivery | Refund? | Sizes | In stock | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Gleemium Fashion | A$33.75 – A$110 | Free, no minimum | Yes — 14 days | 34–52 | 47 |
| 2. TDO Australia | A$55 – A$217.83 | Charged by weight | Yes — 7 days, 10% fee | 32–66 | 648 |
| 3. House of Nepal | A$19 – A$325 | Free over A$199 | Yes — 14 days, 10% fee | 34–52 | 91 |
| 4. Junaid Jamshed | A$25.80 – A$275 | Free over A$150 | No — exchange only | XS–XXL | 93 |
| 5. Manyavar | A$105 – A$440 | Free over A$125 | Exchange-based policy | Per-product chart | Large |
Counts and prices are from each shop's live men's kurta collections on 25 September 2026, in Australian dollars. The range and sizing columns deliberately do not follow the ranking — that is explained above. [1][3][5][7][9]
NO. 1
Gleemium Fashion
Best for: cheapest landed price, with a refund if the fit is wrong
| Price band | A$33.75 – A$110 |
|---|---|
| Delivery | Free Australia-wide, no minimum spend |
| Returns | 14 days, 10% restocking fee — a real refund |
| Sizing | Chest 34 to 52 |
| Stock | 47 men's kurtas, plus 28 panjabi styles, 52 menswear pieces and 21 boys' kurtas |
This is us, so check the figures yourself. Here is the honest case.
Kurtas start at A$33.75, and delivery is free anywhere in Australia with no minimum spend — the only shop of the five where that is true. Two competitors list a cheaper opening price, but both sit behind a delivery threshold of A$150 or A$199, so on a single kurta we land cheapest.
The return window is 14 days with a 10% restocking fee, and it is an actual refund rather than a credit note. Sizes run chest 34 to 52, and because we stock women's and kids' ranges too, a family can be dressed for the same wedding in one order with one delivery.
NO. 2
TDO Australia
Best for: the widest choice and the broadest sizing anywhere
| Price band | A$55 – A$217.83 |
|---|---|
| Delivery | Charged by courier, based on weight and location |
| Returns | 7 days, 90% refund (10% deducted) |
| Sizing | Chest 32 to 66, plus made-to-measure from an emailed form |
| Stock | 648 kurta pajama sets, plus 74 sherwanis, 239 indo-western and 52 ready-to-dispatch kurtas |
On range this is not close. TDO Australia lists 648 kurta pajama sets in stock — more than the other four shops on this page put together — across 13 named fabrics from cotton and rayon to Banarasi art silk, dupion silk and brocade.
The sizing is the other headline. Chest 32 to 66 is the widest band we found anywhere, and they also offer made-to-measure worked from a measurement form emailed after you order, which is the right answer if you are genuinely hard to fit. They are a Perth business trading as TDO AUSTRALIA PTY LTD with a published ABN, and a 52-piece ready-to-dispatch kurta collection exists for anyone who has left it late.
NO. 3
House of Nepal
Best for: trying one on in Sydney, and for heavier wedding sets
| Price band | A$19 – A$325 (menswear overall to A$799) |
|---|---|
| Delivery | Free over A$199. Dispatch within 24 hours on weekdays |
| Returns | 14 days; 10% restocking fee, waived for store credit |
| Sizing | Chest 34 to 52 |
| Stock | 91 kurta pajama sets, 47 Nehru jackets (A$29–A$145), 205 menswear pieces |
Two Sydney shopfronts at Auburn and Rockdale make this the easiest option if you would rather try a kurta on than measure yourself — and sleeve length in particular is far easier to judge in a mirror than on a chart.
It also has the broadest spread on this list: 91 kurta sets from A$19 up to A$325, a separate 47-piece Nehru jacket range, and menswear reaching A$799 for sherwanis. Dispatch is within 24 hours on weekdays, with metro delivery in 2 to 4 days and express reaching metro addresses in 1 to 2 — the fastest here if your event is this weekend.
NO. 4
Junaid Jamshed
Best for: simple everyday Pakistani-style kurtas, with stores in two cities
| Price band | A$25.80 – A$275 |
|---|---|
| Delivery | Free standard over A$150. Standard 7–10 business days, 10–15 to remote areas |
| Returns | Exchange only, 15 days. No change-of-mind refunds |
| Sizing | XS to XXL, plus 4 fabric types |
| Stock | 93 men's kurtas |
J. Junaid Jamshed runs a proper Australian storefront and does clean, restrained kurtas particularly well — the kind you wear to Jummah, Eid or a quiet family dinner rather than a big wedding. Prices open at A$25.80, and there are stores in Melbourne and Sydney where you can exchange in person rather than posting anything back.
Standard delivery is free over A$150, with click-and-collect available from the Melbourne store below that.
NO. 5
Manyavar
Best for: polished wedding sets from a big-name brand
| Price band | A$105 – A$440 on the kurta pages we checked |
|---|---|
| Delivery | Free over A$125, shipping to Australia |
| Returns | Exchange-based policy; no refunds for minor design or colour variation |
| Sizing | Per-product sizing guide rather than one store-wide chart |
| Stock | Large — kurta pajama, kurta, Nehru jacket, Jodhpuri, indo-western and sherwani lines |
Manyavar is India's best-known ethnic menswear brand, operated by Vedant Fashions Ltd and trading since 1999. It runs a full Australian storefront in AUD with free shipping above A$125, and the strength is consistency: sharply finished kurta sets, Jodhpuri suits and sherwanis that photograph beautifully and read as expensive because they are.
If you are the groom, a groomsman, or attending a wedding where the dress code is unambiguous, this is the most polished option here.
Kurta, Kurta Pajama or Sherwani?
These three names get used interchangeably and they are not the same purchase.
| What it is | What you get | Formality | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kurta | The long tunic on its own, worn with your own trousers or jeans | Casual to smart casual | A$26 – A$80 |
| Kurta pajama set | Kurta plus matching straight drawstring trousers | Festival, puja, wedding guest | A$55 – A$220 |
| With a Nehru jacket | A sleeveless band-collar waistcoat layered over the set | Dressed-up wedding guest | add A$29 – A$145 |
| Sherwani | A long structured coat worn over a kurta, often heavily worked | Groom and wedding party | A$300 – A$800+ |
Price bands are drawn from the five shops compared here on 25 September 2026. The useful rule: one kurta scales from very casual to very formal on fabric and layering alone — cotton for everyday, silk or brocade plus a jacket for the big occasions.
How to Measure Your Kurta Size
This is where most online kurta purchases go wrong. Indian and Pakistani sizing is usually a chest number — 38, 40, 42 and so on — not S/M/L. Take a soft tape, measure over a thin shirt, and keep it snug but not tight.
| Measurement | How to take it | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Chest | Around the fullest part of your chest, under the arms | This number is your kurta size |
| Shoulder | Across the back, from the tip of one shoulder to the other | A shoulder seam that sits too far down looks sloppy |
| Kurta length | Shoulder seam straight down to where you want the hem | Usually just above the knee |
| Sleeve length | Shoulder tip to your wrist bone, arm relaxed | The single most common fit complaint |
| Waist (pajama) | Around your natural waist, where the drawstring sits | Drawstrings forgive a lot, but not everything |
| Pajama length | Waist to the top of your foot | Should break just on the shoe |
Choosing Fabric for Australian Weather
| Fabric | How it wears | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Pure cotton | Breathes, washes easily, creases readily | Summer, daytime events, everyday |
| Rayon and cotton blends | Holds a crisper shape, less breathable | Office, evening, smart casual |
| Art silk and dupion silk | Sheen and structure, warmer to wear | Weddings, receptions, cooler evenings |
| Brocade and jacquard | Heaviest and most formal, holds heat | Grooms, wedding party, indoor functions |
For an outdoor summer wedding, a light silk-blend kurta gives you the formality without the sweat. Save the brocade for an evening reception in an air-conditioned room.
Which Shop Is Right for You?
| If you... | Go with |
|---|---|
| Are buying one kurta and want no delivery charge | Gleemium Fashion |
| Might need to send it back for a refund | Gleemium Fashion or House of Nepal |
| Are dressing the whole family for one wedding | Gleemium Fashion |
| Want the biggest choice of kurta pajama sets | TDO Australia (648) |
| Need a chest size below 34 or above 52 | TDO Australia (32–66) |
| Want it stitched to your own measurements | TDO Australia |
| Live in Sydney and want to try it on | House of Nepal |
| Need it this week | House of Nepal express, or TDO ready-to-dispatch |
| Live in Melbourne and want to exchange in store | Junaid Jamshed |
| Are the groom or in the wedding party | Manyavar or House of Nepal |
Three Things to Check Before You Buy Anywhere
- Check whether it is a refund or an exchange. Two of these five shops give you a credit note, not your money back — and at one, sale items cannot even be exchanged.
- Measure the sleeve, not just the chest. Chest-fits-sleeves-don't is the standard kurta failure, and it is the one thing a drawstring cannot rescue.
- Add delivery before comparing prices. A cheaper kurta behind a A$199 free-shipping threshold is not cheaper. Work out the landed total.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I buy a kurta for men in Australia?
Gleemium Fashion and TDO Australia sell men's kurtas online from Perth, House of Nepal has two Sydney stores plus online, Junaid Jamshed has Melbourne and Sydney stores, and Manyavar runs an Australian storefront shipping from overseas. Four of the five price in Australian dollars with local delivery.
How much does a men's kurta cost in Australia?
Across these five shops, men's kurtas run from A$19 to A$440. A plain kurta on its own sits around A$26 to A$80; a kurta pajama set A$55 to A$220; a Nehru jacket adds A$29 to A$145; and a sherwani runs from roughly A$300 upwards.
Which shop has the biggest men's kurta range in Australia?
TDO Australia, with 648 kurta pajama sets in stock, more than the other four shops combined. House of Nepal lists 91, Junaid Jamshed 93 and Gleemium Fashion 47.
Which kurta shop has the best returns policy?
Gleemium Fashion and House of Nepal both allow 14 days with a 10% restocking fee and give an actual refund. TDO Australia refunds within 7 days with 10% deducted. Junaid Jamshed is exchange only within 15 days, and Manyavar's policy is exchange-based with no refunds for minor design or colour variation.
How do I measure my kurta size for men?
Measure your chest at its fullest point over a thin shirt — that number, such as 38, 40 or 42, is usually your kurta size. Also take your shoulder width, kurta length, sleeve length, and the waist and length for the pajama. If you are between sizes, go up.
What size kurta should I buy if I am between sizes?
Size up. A kurta is meant to skim rather than cling, so a slightly loose fit reads as intentional while a tight one never does. Checking a kurta you already own, laid flat, against the size chart is the quickest sanity check.
What is the difference between a kurta and a kurta pajama?
A kurta is the long tunic on its own. A kurta pajama is that tunic sold with matching straight drawstring trousers, which makes it a complete festive or wedding-guest outfit. Adding a Nehru jacket dresses it up further; a sherwani is a separate, heavier coat worn over a kurta by grooms and the wedding party.
What should men wear to an Indian wedding in Australia?
A silk or art-silk kurta pajama set is the safe, comfortable choice for guests. Add a Nehru jacket to dress it up, or wear a sherwani if you are part of the wedding party. For daytime summer ceremonies choose lighter fabrics and colours; save brocade for evening receptions indoors.
What fabric is best for a kurta in Australian summer?
Pure cotton. It breathes and washes easily, which matters for daytime events in the heat. Rayon and cotton blends hold a crisper shape, while silk, brocade and jacquard look richest but hold heat and are better kept for cooler evenings.
Can I get a men's kurta custom stitched in Australia?
Yes. TDO Australia offers made-to-measure worked from a measurement form emailed after you order, which is the strongest option if you are hard to fit off the rack. Its ready-made sizing also runs from chest 32 to 66, the widest band of the five shops here.
