Tangail sarees — তাঁতের শাড়ি, woven on the handloom, or tat — are cotton and half-silk pieces from the weaving villages of Tangail district, light, breathable and made for Bangladesh's climate. They are the everyday saree for many women and the festive choice for Pohela Boishakh, with distinctive borders and a soft drape that only improves with washing. Monipuri cotton pieces sit alongside them here.

Where Tangail is woven

Pathrail, Bajitpur and Delduar in Tangail district are the loom villages, and the Basak weaver families there have worked the same pit looms for generations. The Tangail saree has its own geographical indication in Bangladesh. What comes off those looms is a soft, fine cotton with a woven border — the paar — that does not stiffen or bleed, and increasingly a half-silk with a silk warp that takes a sheen without losing the softness.

It is the saree Bangladesh actually wears: to the office, to class, to the market, on a June afternoon. That is the whole argument for it.

Cotton, half-silk, soft silk

Cotton Tangail is the lightest and the coolest, and it creases — that is the cotton, not a fault. Half-silk carries silk in the warp and cotton in the weft: a quiet sheen, a little more drape, still breathable, a step up in price. Soft silk Tangail is all silk, woven fine, for the evening. In a humid month the cotton wins; in a wedding month the half-silk does.

Look for the woven border on all three. A printed border on a saree sold as Tangail is the first sign it was not woven there.

Length, blouse piece, fall and pico

A Tangail is woven to twelve or thirteen hands — around five and a half to six metres — and the blouse piece is usually woven in at the end, to be cut off. Every listing here says whether the blouse piece is included and how long the saree is. The fall (the cotton strip stitched along the bottom hem) and the pico (the rolled edge) are tailoring, done after purchase; ask the tailor who makes the blouse, or ask us.

For a first saree, cotton Tangail with the blouse piece included is the least trouble and the most worn.

Before you buy

• Cotton Tangail shrinks slightly on the first wash — buy the length you need, not shorter.
• The border (paar) is the signature: check it is woven, not stitched on.
• Wash separately the first time; some deep dyes release a little colour.
