Handwoven Ethnic Jackets for Men

Ethnic jackets at Taalapatra are cut from handwoven Sambalpuri cotton, so the pattern is woven into the cloth before the jacket is tailored. The structured Nehru style gives a bolder silhouette than a shirt and suits festivals, weddings and cultural celebrations.

Nehru Jackets in Sambalpuri Cotton

The Nehru jacket in this collection is made from handwoven Sambalpuri cotton with a tribal design. It is made to be layered over a kurta, a shirt or an ethnic ensemble, adding structure without excess. Size and fit details appear on the product page, because a tailored jacket depends on the right measurement.

The Sambalpuri Weaving Behind the Fabric

Sambalpuri cloth comes from the weaving districts of Sambalpur, Bargarh, Balangir, Boudh and Sonepur in Odisha (India). Its defining technique is Bandha, a double ikat in which both warp and weft threads are tied and dyed before weaving. The motifs are therefore built into the fabric and appear identically on both sides.

Styling and Pairing

A jacket in handwoven cotton works over a simple kurta for a festival or over a plain shirt for a cultural event. For matching menswear, see Sambalpuri Shirts. For the wider handloom range, browse the Sambalpuri Collection, and for occasions and presents, Men's Gifting.
