Nehru Jacket
Custom
made for men and women.
This
garment was named after Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of
independent India.The jacket is a hip-length jacket with a stand up collar
and without lapels. Soon after making its debut on the pages of
"Vogue" magazine, the Nehru jacket found its way to a wide
variety of personalities including the Beatles, Johnny Carson, Sammy Davis
Jr., and the Beach Boys' Mike Love.
The
present Nehru jacket survived two fads: the ethnic awareness of the 1960s
and the stark minimalism of the 'mod' look.

Cut
and style of Nehru jacket
As seen in our descriptive
photos, this jacket is single breasted with no lapels having 5 to 6 buttons
in fronts and a slightly fitted band collar or Chinese collar. This style
was made famous by Mr. Nehru who wore this jacket with the collar slightly
open at the front. Today’s modifications have been done by closing the
collar with hook and eye to enhance its beauty and symmetry. There is one
breast pocket and two stomach pockets outside with two pockets inside. The
Nehru jacket has one or two slit or two slits at back.

The
Nehru Jacket was one element of Indian dress that penetrated western dress
styles. Today this jacket is again gaining attention and is becoming a
symbol of power brokers. This is the reason it has been nicknamed: “The
Minister Jacket”.
