puratan kachere arent pure brilliant white aided by our good fried chlorine based bleaches,

they were made of khaddar and were generally light brown or cream in colour

Cotton fibre is generally white.

Shastr - just ask around when you get there, the best bet is at a Taksal or Nihang Chauni.

Go to a darzee (tailor) near a large Gurdwara Sahib , they have better knowledge of Sikhi Kacheras.

ive never heard of kasheras going past knees. if they did they would be more restricitve in movement and a problem in jang.
So, I have a request for all of you who have cut their kesh and beards and have the name "Singh". I put my hands together and ask, 'Please, become my brothers'. And only become my brothers if you think I'm good. If you think I'm a low-life then don't at all become my brothers. If you call me good, then you'll have to keep your kesh and beards, give up liquor and if you call me a low-life, I'll be quiet and sit down and leave you alone.

The front part of the opening of the kachera should dip just onto the knee, whilst the back should not go past the khuchh of the knee, never past the knee as it restricts movement like chatanga stated. I normally get mine made in Phagwara.

Do you recall the name of the shop in Phagwara?

Also, on a related topic, where can you get good quality Cholay (Taksali and Nihang) and gatray made from?

The other reason why it shouldn't go below the knee is that it then becomes a salwaar - a pathani/ muslim trouser. About half way down (or just a bit more than half way) the knee cap is ideal.
