It is the first time in India that trousers are coming with an adjustable waist band (auto fit technology), which ensured perfect fit to every Indian shape, thus saving the consumer of the trouble of going for altering his readymade garment, R Sivaram, Executive Director of the Group, said.

The trousers with the brand name 'O' press, has been developed using the best cotton fabric enriched with Weishi technology (new wash technology) from China to produce the wrinkle-resistant trouser that stays all day, he claimed.
