The Bandi Jacket, also known as The Nehru Jacket or the Modi Jacket; a timeless classic that is now a global fashion statement. These elegant jackets were originally called “bandh gale ka coat” and later became popular as “The Nehru Jackets”. Ironically, Nehru never wore the Nehru Jacket himself, he preferred wearing Sherwanis or Achkans.
Although widely admired during Nehru’s time, their popularity declined during the 80’s. But these jackets have made a remarkable comeback as Modi Jackets, popularized by the Prime Minister himself.
