It takes a restrained Indian standing collar and puts it on an easy modern shape: a narrow open front, soft shoulders and a conventional two-button stance. The result is sharp without being formal, which is the hardest register to get right and the one most men actually need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy The Viraj works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShort upright collar:\u003c\/strong\u003e the bandhgala idea, borrowed rather than copied.

Three cloths: chocolate brown, olive green and natural off-white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to wear it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith tailored trousers and a tucked-in shirt for work. With dark denim and a plain tee for the weekend. With light khakis and an Oxford when the day could go either way. The collar means you never have to decide about a tie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMen who own suits they rarely wear and want the one jacket that works for most of the week.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a bandhgala?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. It borrows the standing collar and nothing else. A bandhgala closes to the neck and is worn shut; the Viraj has a narrow open front and is worn open, with a shirt showing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the linen crease?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, and it should. Linen creases where you bend and settles when you hang it. A linen jacket that holds a crisp line all day is not linen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I wear it to an office?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn most Gurugram offices, yes, particularly in chocolate brown or olive. Natural off-white is the weekend and warm-weather one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich colour should I order first?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOlive green. It works with more trousers than the other two and it is the least obvious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it come with trousers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The Viraj is a jacket on its own, made to work with trousers you already own. If you want matching trousers, we can cut them at the same appointment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrivate tailoring for the life you actually live.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Viraj is made to your measurements through SALVE personal tailoring.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SALVE","offers":[{"title":"Olive Green","offer_id":67231197528313,"sku":"SLV-VIRAJ-OLIVE","price":14500.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Natural Off-White","offer_id":67231197561081,"sku":"SLV-VIRAJ-NATURAL","price":14500.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Chocolate Brown","offer_id":67231197757689,"sku":"SLV-VIRAJ-CHOCOLATE","price":14500.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/0388\/2233\/files\/salve-viraj-chocolate-tailored-trousers.png?v=1790509929","url":"https:\/\/www.salvemenswear.com\/products\/the-viraj-linen-sports-jacket","provider":"SALVE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
