The Nehru jacket and bandhgala are the backbone of a sharp ethnic wardrobe. One is the most versatile layer a man can own; the other is the most formal piece in Indian menswear. At Taroob, both are handcrafted in our Amritsar atelier, with hand-cut patterns and hand-worked embroidery that mass-produced versions cannot match. Whether you are dressing for a wedding, a Diwali dinner, or a festive office event, this is where the search ends.
What makes a Taroob Nehru jacket and bandhgala different?
The quality shows the moment you put it on.
-

Buttons set by hand for strength and a clean finish

Fabric chosen for structure, drape, and how it carries embroidery
The Nehru jacket: the most versatile layer
A Nehru jacket works almost anywhere. It sharpens a kurta pajama, dresses up a plain shirt, and even lifts jeans and a tee.
-
Over a kurta pajama for weddings, sangeet, and festive dinners
-
Over a shirt and trousers for a smart fusion office or evening look
-
In solid tones for versatility, or embroidered for a statement
-

The bandhgala: the sharpest formal look
The bandhgala is the most formal register in Indian menswear, with its closed collar and structured cut.
-
Ideal for weddings, receptions, and black-tie style events
-
Deep tones like black, navy, and bottle green read the most elegant
-
A pocket square in the breast pocket completes it
