The Bandhgala suit (the Indian tuxedo) for your every formal occasion to keep your look elegant and classy, the Bandhgala is also called a Jodhpuri suit; Indeed, it is because the origination of the suit was in the 19th century the place called the Jodhpur one of the historical city of Rajasthan in India.
Apparently, the Bandhgala suit was popularized in the 19th- mid -20th century among the Indian royal families and politicians then later on the people got inspired by them then starts to wear the Bandhgala suit on their formal occasions, and the design of the suit emerges from the Achkan (a shortened version)
The Achkan (Sherwani) is an Indian traditional knee-length coat that is often worn by grooms during their wedding ceremony, the Indian royals used to wear Achkan on every formal occasion as well.
The Bandhgala suit is an articulation of elegance and the essence of culture and patriotism for Indian gentlemen.
The construction and characteristics of the Bandhgala suit are similar to the method of English tailoring such as the way of canvas and the shoulder (padding) construction eventually the lining of the jacket as well it creates a beautiful silhouette and elegant look.
Interms of the style of the Bandhgala suits are defined by their distinctive elements such as the mandarine collar and the buttons most often with metals also welted chest pockets and the side pockets preferably with the flap or jetted pockets, the vents of the jacket also have single (centre vent) and double (side vents).
Relatively, the Bandhgala suit jacket and trousers are always made of the same fabric also you could make odd jackets as well
The black Bandhgala suit is globally accepted as a Black-tie attire thereby it's called an Indan tuxedo and is the most formal suit in India.
Interms of styling your Bandhgala suit; let us begin with choosing the right shirt, the shirt collar must be a band collar and the cuffs are preferably the french cuffs or barrel cuffs,
the trousers could be with single pleats or flat fronts with a nice crease line (the vertical line goes down the front of your trousers)
the footwear for formal occasions I would prefer oxford shoes ( patent leather or calfskin) whether it might be a whole cut or cap toe, plain toe, or perhaps if dress-up for casual events then the penny loafers, tassel loafers, Belgian loafers are the best options for your elegant and classy look.
Eventually, don't forget your pocket square gentlemen (linen, silk, cotton) it's a nice compliment to your overall look.
