History of the Nehru jacket

The Nehru collar – a slim, stand-up band of fabric also known as a Mandarin collar - has been around for centuries, but grew especially popular in 1940s India. It’s named for Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of India, who made the style his de-facto uniform. In 1964 Nehru appeared in an issue of Vogue magazine wearing his now-eponymous jacket, sparking a global trend. The Beatles, Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr were all fans – with the latter claiming to own more than 200 Nehrus.

Today in India the Nehru is often referred to as the Modi jacket, after the current prime minister who is regularly seen sporting a sleeveless version. Here in the UK, the Nehru remains a modern, versatile option.

How is a Nehru jacket made?

Each of our Nehru jackets are carefully crafted using high quality fabrics, including wool, cashmere and velvet. Our wool and velvet Nehrus are tailored with a slim fit, fully lined with a double back vent and jet or patch pockets. Our chore Nehru is a more casual style, made from sturdy British cotton with a relaxed, unlined fit.
