Tapered: The Most Confident Brand In Dhaka

The Genius In Detail

Often referred to as the “Old Money” aesthetic of Mirpur Road, Tapered didn’t just open a shop; they declared war on ill-fitting clothes. Founded by Raiyan Chowdhury during a sleepless night of manic creativity, the brand operates on a single, dangerous premise: 

If you don’t feel confident, you don’t pay.

They didn’t just make trousers; they engineered the “Mini Back Elastic” to survive Bengali humidity without losing the silhouette.

The ambition is loud, but here is why the hype is real.

The “Insomnia” Origin

Before Tapered, he had two choices: fast fashion that falls apart, or bespoke tailoring that takes weeks.

Raiyan chose option C.

“I knew that if I keep any work for later, I might procrastinate. So I ended up not letting myself sleep till I… created the logo and Instagram page.“

— Raiyan Chowdhury, Founder

He burst onto the scene not with a massive factory, but with a vision to make Bangladeshi men “look different and be remembered.“

• The Shift: From disposable trends to “Timeless Taste.”
• The Result: Emerging Fashion Designer of the Year (2022).

🏆 The Day “Formal” Became Comfortable

The Old Way: Stiff waistbands, sweaty liners, uncomfortable fits.

The Tapered Way:

They took the Safari Jacket, a relic of the past and gave it 3D pockets and a detachable belt (BDT 3000).

They took the Blazer and removed the lining (BDT 8500) so you can actually wear it in Dhaka’s 35°C heat.

Bottom line: They engineered clothing for Bangladesh’s weather, not Europe’s.

The Confidence Effect

Most brands sell you a “look”.Tapered sells you a feeling.

They are the only brand bold enough to say:

“If our products don’t increase your confidence, you can get a full refund even if the deliveryman is gone and you’ve worn it out.“

The Signature Picks:

• Signature Gurkha: The comfort of sweatpants, the look of a CEO.
• Executive Shirt: Oxford cotton with hidden buttons to keep that collar standing tall.
• Custom Fit: From 3k to 15k, they will craft anything you can imagine.

The “Local” Power Move

The products are artisanal. The production is local.

Tapered is proof that “Made in Bangladesh” can mean luxury, not just mass production. They are obsessed with experimentation, solving minor problems (like collar droop) that other brands ignore.

The Promise

You don’t wear Tapered to blend in. You wear it to stand out. The guarantee might sound crazy to a traditional accountant.

But for the customer? It’s bulletproof.
