Radhey Market

Radhey Market: Surat's Ring Road Destination for Men's Shirting, Suiting and Uniform Fabric

Radhey Market is a wholesale and retail cloth market on Surat's Ring Road, inside the Salasar Hanuman Gate (Salasar Hanuman Dwar) and directly opposite Textile Tower Market, in pin code 395002. Where most Ring Road markets focus on women's ethnic wear, Radhey is known for men's suiting and shirting fabric.

Location and Access

The market is about 2 km from Surat Railway Station, roughly 15 minutes by auto-rickshaw or two-wheeler along Ring Road. It is opposite both Textile Tower Market and Good Luck Textile Market, near Shree Mahavir Textile Market, and close to 451 Textile Market.

Layout and Footprint

Radhey is an older, multi-floor building with lifts and stairways. It is not air-conditioned. Ground-floor counters handle retail sales, while wholesalers trade from the upper floors.

What the Market Sells

• Shirting and suiting: the market's speciality, from everyday shirting to wedding coat-pant fabric and blazer material.
• School uniform cloth for uniform suppliers and tailors.
• Women's lines: sarees, dress materials, blouse pieces and petticoat fabric.

The Wholesale Framework: Units and Minimums

Wholesale fabric is sold as full rolls (thans) of 20–50 metres, or as pre-cut pant-shirt sets. There is no fixed minimum purchase. Ground-floor counters sell single cut pieces and gift-box combos, so the market also suits tailors and small menswear shops buying in small quantities.

Buyer Amenities and Practical Notes

• Security at the entrance, courier services nearby, and food stalls around the gate for tea, South Indian food, lassi and Gujarati snacks.
• The lane outside is narrow, and there is no dedicated parking. Come by auto or two-wheeler.
• Open Monday to Saturday, 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Closed on Sunday. 11 AM to 7 PM is the best window.

A Buyer's Guide to Shirting and Suiting

Shirting and suiting are bought differently from sarees. Instead of catalogue sets, you buy fabric qualities by the metre or roll. Before you buy, agree on:

• Fibre blend: cotton, poly-cotton, polyester-viscose and other blends behave differently in wear, ironing and washing, and are priced accordingly.
• Width: confirm the width, which decides how many shirts or trousers you can cut from each metre.
• Weight and feel: suiting for formal coats and blazers is heavier than everyday trouser fabric.
• Shade range: for shirting, see the full shade card. For suiting, check whether matching coat and trouser shades are available.
• Roll length: wholesale rolls (thans) here run 20–50 metres. Confirm the exact length you are paying for.

Sourcing School Uniform Cloth

Uniform suppliers and tailors buy school uniform cloth here. Uniform orders need consistency: the same shade and quality across every child's uniform, often year after year. Give sellers the school's exact colour reference, buy enough from one dye lot for the whole order, and ask whether the seller can supply the same quality and shade again next season. Check colour fastness and shrinkage, since uniforms are washed often.

Wedding Season Suiting

Demand for coat-pant and blazer fabric rises in the wedding season. Tailoring shops and menswear retailers should stock up early, when the best qualities and shades are available, and ask about pre-cut pant-shirt sets and gift-box combos, which sell well as wedding gifts.

Combining Menswear and Womenswear Buying

Radhey's position opposite Textile Tower and Good Luck markets is useful for general clothing retailers. A shop that sells both menswear fabric and women's ethnic wear can source shirting and suiting at Radhey and sarees and dress materials across the road in one trip.

How It Compares with Nearby Markets

Radhey fills a gap on Ring Road. Buyers who come for sarees at Textile Tower or Good Luck can source menswear fabric across the road. For uniform suppliers and tailoring businesses, it is one of the most convenient places in central Surat to buy shirting and suiting by the roll.
