The Bandhgala, Three Ways
One jacket, from boardroom to baraat.
No garment in the Indian wardrobe works harder than the bandhgala. Closed-neck, structured, sober — it carries the authority of a suit with the cut of something older and more particular.
In a charcoal or ink wool, it is business dress with a spine. In a textured cream or oat, it becomes a daytime wedding. In midnight velvet with a self-tonal button, it answers the most formal invitation in the calendar.
Buy one in a serious cloth and have it cut to close exactly at the throat. A bandhgala that fits the neck transforms the man inside it.
