A '''Jodhpuri''' suit or '''Bandhgala''' (lit. closed neck) suit, is a formal suit from [[India]]. It originated in the [[Jodhpur State]], and was popularized during mid 19th - mid 20th century in India. It consists of a [[Coat (clothing)|coat]] and [[trousers]], sometimes accompanied by a [[vest]]. It brings together a shorter cut with hand-[[embroidery]] escorted <!--what?--> by the [[waistcoat]].<ref>[http://www.hindustantimes.com/Now-bandhgala-in-a-casual-look/Article1-556306.aspx] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110830085539/http://www.hindustantimes.com/Now-bandhgala-in-a-casual-look/Article1-556306.aspx |date=30 August 2011 }}</ref> It is suitable for occasions such as weddings and formal gatherings.<br />

The material can be silk or any other suiting material. Normally, the material is lined at the collar and at the buttons with embroidery. This can be plain, jacquard or jamewari material. Normally, the trousers match that of the coat. There is also a trend to wear contrasting trousers to match the coat colour.<br />

==History==<br />
[[Angarkha]] is considered the predecessor of the Bandhgala. An angrakha was a traditional court outfit in ancient and classical India that a person could wrap comfortably around himself, offering flexible ease with the knots and ties. Bandhgala emerged as a shortened version of the [[Achkan]]. Bandhgala quickly became a popular formal and semi-formal uniform across [[Rajasthan]] and eventually throughout India. Designer [[Wendell Rodricks]] observes that formal wear such as the Bandhgala are evolutions of a costume legacy that is 6,000 years old.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.outlookindia.com/magazine/story/nehru-jacket-or-modi-vest-which-one-are-you-wearing-today/300859|title=Nehru Jacket or Modi Vest: Which One Are You Wearing Today? &#124; Outlook India Magazine}}</ref> Although, unlike the indigenous european style men's skirts, eastern style pants are worn with it.{{fact|date=February 2019}}<br />
