Style Over Trend: Chota House's Handmade Menswear at 313@Somerset
Heritage Clothing, Handmade in Singapore
Chota House has been quietly building a following since 2011, specialising in menswear that draws from classic Japanese and military-inspired design. Every piece is meticulously handmade locally in Singapore, with thoughtfully curated textiles and intricate detailing that sets it apart from mass-market fast fashion. The brand's guiding philosophy is simple: style and functionality precede trend.
The 313@Somerset outlet is located on Level 4, giving Orchard Road shoppers a chance to see and feel the brand's craftsmanship in person before making a purchase.
Crafted, Not Mass-Produced
What makes Chota House stand out is its commitment to genuine craftsmanship at every stage. The process starts with sourcing the finest quality fabrics, moves through drafting and cutting the brand's own patterns, and ends with sewing every piece together in-house — all done locally, with a focus on getting every detail right. Each design is also produced in limited quantities, a deliberate choice to preserve resources and avoid waste.
The result is a classic-contemporary aesthetic that encapsulates historical inspiration with modern influence — clothing built to withstand rapidly changing trends rather than chase them.
Pro Tip: Check Chota House's Instagram for restock alerts — since pieces are made in limited quantities, popular designs can sell out and may not always be restocked in the same run.
What to Shop
Chota House's current lineup includes the SS25 Lookbook collection, spanning Tops (tees, short-sleeved shirts, and long-sleeve shirts), Bottoms, and Outerwear featuring military jackets and noragis. Standout pieces include the Chimayo Denim Jacket and matching Chimayo Long Sleeve Tee, both reflecting the brand's signature vintage-military aesthetic.
Beyond apparel, Chota House also carries bags and takes on select Design Projects, giving shoppers a broader look at the brand's design sensibility beyond its core ready-to-wear range.
