This page is for makers listing a panjabi on JADUZ, and for the AI assistant helping them. The general rules for names, honest claims and the reply format live on the main JADUZ listing guide; this page adds what is particular to panjabis.
What to measure and how to state it
Fill the size chart in the editor for every size you sell. It holds four measurements, entered in inches:
- Chest: lay the panjabi flat, measure across from armpit seam to armpit seam, and double it, for example "Chest 42 in (107 cm)".
- Shoulder: across the back, from one shoulder seam to the other.
- Sleeve: from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuff.
- Length: from the highest point of the shoulder beside the collar straight down to the hem, for example "Length 42 in (107 cm)". Say whether it falls above, at or below the knee.
Many panjabis are sold in numbered sizes such as 38 to 46. The number alone does not tell a buyer enough, because makers use it differently, so the chart carries the real measurements. In the description, say whether the cut is regular, slim or loose, how long the side slits are, and the length of the placket.
Materials and techniques to name
Choose the fabric in the editor (cotton, khadi, tant, linen, silk, half silk, endi silk, katan and others) and name it again in the description. Then name the details a buyer cannot see in a photo:
- Collar: band (mandarin) collar, round neck or another style.
- Placket and buttons: how many buttons, what they are made of (wood, metal, shell, fabric-covered), and whether they are sewn on or detachable studs.
- Pockets: side pockets, a chest pocket, or none.
- Handwork: hand embroidery on the collar or placket, kantha stitch, karchupi, block print, screen print, batik or hand painting. Say which parts are by hand and which are machine stitched.
If the white or cream fabric is thin, say so. Call dyes natural only if you know they are.
Care
For cotton and khadi: hand wash in cold water, wash dark colours separately the first few times, dry in the shade, and iron embroidery on the reverse. Remove detachable buttons before washing. Silk, endi, katan and karchupi pieces are safer dry cleaned. Mention anything you have seen happen yourself, such as light shrinkage in the first wash or colour bleeding.

Questions buyers ask
- Which size fits my chest? Point to the chart and say how roomy the cut is.
- Is white cotton see-through in daylight?
- Does a pyjama come with it?
- Are the buttons detachable, and are they included?
- Will the colour run, or will it shrink?
- Can the sleeves or length be shortened? Say yes only if you will do it.
Words to avoid
Leave out "best quality", "premium", "exclusive" and "100% original" with nothing behind them. Do not write "Eid offer" or "limited stock" unless the listing really shows a lower price or your stock really is low. Skip ALL CAPS, emojis and invented discounts. Do not call a fabric pure silk unless you are certain, and do not promise "perfect fit".
