পাথরাইল টাঙ্গাইল কী?

Pathrail is a weaving village in Tangail Sadar, the centre of the Basak weaving families, and "a Pathrail saree" is shorthand for the best of Tangail work: finer yarn, a clean border, an even body and motifs placed with care. Neighbouring villages weave in the same tradition; Pathrail is the name buyers know.

A shop that buys from Tangail can tell you the village and usually the weaver's family. Ask — it is the same question you would ask of a Jamdani, and the answer separates a shop that handles the cloth from one that handles a catalogue.
