The Story
The Chut Thai (ชุดไทย) — literally “Thai outfit” — is the ensemble men wear for the moments that matter. Weddings, ordinations, temple visits, engagement photography, cultural performances. It’s rooted in the refined menswear of the Rattanakosin royal courts, updated with a modern cut that moves easily and photographs beautifully.
The Anon set brings together three pieces designed to be worn together: a mandarin-collar shirt in a smooth woven fabric with a soft sheen, a pre-sewn Chong Kraben (โจงกระเบน) in woven brocade with metallic accents, and a matching sabai (สไบ) sash worn diagonally across the chest. The result is a silhouette that reads as authentically Thai — not costume — whether you’re the groom, a guest, or standing beside your partner at their family’s celebration.
What’s Included
- One mandarin-collar shirt with concealed button placket
- One pre-sewn Chong Kraben with elastic waist, concealed zip and hook closure
- One matching brocade sabai sash with tasselled ends

Fabric & Care
The shirt is a smooth woven fabric with a soft sheen; the Chong Kraben and sabai are woven brocade with metallic accents. Dry clean recommended to preserve the weave and metallic threads. If hand-washing, use cold water and a gentle detergent, lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight, and press on a low setting on the reverse side. Store folded, away from damp.
