The Kashmiri Sozni Embroidered Open Bandi Jacket is one of the most artistically significant pieces in Taroob's men's Nehru jacket collection. Sozni is a needle embroidery technique originating in Kashmir, worked entirely by hand using a fine needle to build intricate floral and paisley patterns stitch by stitch across the fabric surface. A skilled Sozni karigar completes only a few square centimetres of work per hour, which is why the density and precision of the embroidery on this jacket represent months of focused handwork before it ever reaches you. The base fabric is fine wool in a deep navy with multicoloured thread work, giving the jacket a richness that reads as refined rather than loud. This is the kind of garment that draws attention from people who understand craft, the way a well-made watch does, quietly and absolutely.

For occasions from wedding receptions and sangeet nights to formal festival gatherings, this bandi jacket pairs with a white or ivory kurta pajama for a complete look, or layers over a simple cotton kurta for a more understated approach. If you want to pair it as a complete outfit, a fine-quality kurta pajama set can be added at an additional cost.
