In Jhalak's words
The Tuxedo is the most disciplined shape we make. Arm and back finish at exactly the same height, the seams are sharp, and there is nowhere for a badly cut panel to hide. It is the sofa we would show somebody who wants to judge whether a workshop can actually tailor.
Because the arms are full height, it seats three people with genuine separation — nobody's shoulder is over the arm. It also means the sofa reads as a block, so in a small room we suggest slim legs or brushed brass to lift it off the floor.
Structured cotton is the right cloth here. Soft, slouchy fabrics fight the shape; the whole appeal is crispness. Contrast piping in a darker tone is a small change that makes the line read even sharper, and it costs almost nothing.
“Look at where the arm meets the back. If that seam is straight, the workshop is honest.”— Jhalak Bahadur Khatri, proprietor

Ask us for an offcut of the actual foam going into your sofa and we will hand it to you. Come to the workshop and push the bare frame with your own hands before it is covered — most people who do that stop worrying.
Delivery and warranty, in plain language
Free delivery inside Ring Road, quoted honestly at cost anywhere else in Nepal. Fifty per cent advance when you sign the written specification, balance on delivery — and the specification lists the model, exact size, fabric name and batch, foam densities, leg finish and date, so there is nothing left to remember or argue about.
Five years on the frame and joinery. Five years on foam collapse. One year on stitching, zips and mechanisms. If something goes wrong, send a photograph and your ledger serial number to 9849239091 on WhatsApp — that is the whole claim process. Your fabric is reserved from the same roll for six months, so a matching extra piece actually matches.

Questions people ask about the RP City Tuxedo
For sitting, no — it is excellent support. For lying down, yes, it is a hard edge under the neck. Buy a bolster if you nap.
It can. Slim or brass legs and a lighter fabric solve most of it.
Visually yes, and it costs around NPR 2,500. It is the cheapest upgrade in our catalogue.
Yes, up to 60 cm, though it softens the tailored look. We will show you a photo of both before you decide.
Anything with a loose drape. It will wrinkle at the arm and ruin the line.
Very well — it is one of our most common boardroom-lounge choices.
