How to choose

Occasion. Plain cotton for work and daily wear; silk and brocade for weddings, receptions and Diwali; printed cotton for haldi, mehendi, festivals and family functions. Fit. A Nehru jacket is worn over a kurta or shirt, so size to the chest measurement on the men’s chart and go one size up if the kurta is loose – the jacket should close without pulling at the buttons. Pairing. Contrast the jacket against the kurta: a printed jacket over a plain kurta, a plain or silk jacket over a printed one.

Care

Cotton: cold gentle wash inside out, dry in shade, iron on medium. Silk and brocade: dry clean only.

Can I return a Nehru jacket?
