Medways Clothing

We are right across from Ragam Theatre on Kongu Main Road. It’s a landmark everyone knows, so we just tell people to look for the theatre and they find us. 151st Street is usually busy with people coming and going. Our shop is a bit of a mix of things. We have the front area where we talk to folks and the back where all the real work happens. It’s not a quiet place. There is always the sound of scissors or someone calling out across the floor. We’ve been here for a while, seeing shops open and close around us. We just keep doing what we do. The floor is concrete and the walls could probably use a fresh coat of paint, but it doesn't stop us from working. We don't have any fancy brochures. People know us because we’ve been on this road for so long. We deal with all sorts of orders. Sometimes it’s small batches, sometimes it’s more. We treat them all the same. We just want the clothes to be right. When the movies let out at the theatre, the street gets packed. We usually just watch the crowd for a bit before getting back to the machines. It’s a good spot to be in. We feel like part of the neighborhood. We don't try to be anything we aren't. Medways is just a place where work gets done every day.
