A Jodhpuri suit (Hindi: जोधपुरी सूट) or Bandhgala is a blend of Indian and western taste. Also known as prince suit, it is a western suit-like product, with a coat and a trouser, at times accompanied by a vest. It brings together the western cut with Indian hand-embroidery escorted by the very famous Nehru collar.[1] Suited for occasions like weddings and formal gatherings. An ideal outfit for relatives and close friends of the bride and groom.
Young men prefer this. It gives the bridegroom a royal appearance. In this design the kurta must be 2 inches below the sleeve. The coat should be just below the hips like that of the western coats, but not as far down as the sherwani. This is really a cross between the eastern and the western suits.
The material can be silk or any other suiting material. Normally, the material is lined at the collar and at the buttons with embroidery. This can be plain, jacquard or jamewari material.
Normally, the trousers match that of the coat. There is also a trend now to wear contrasting trousers to match the coat color.
