Nehru Jackets and Mandarin Collar Suits, our specialty
At Heron’s Ghyll, we specialize in tailoring with revisionist collar styles. Nehru Jackets are tailored jackets which feature an unfolded collar that stands around the neckline. Nehru Jackets are sometimes also referred to as Mandarin Collar Jackets or Stand Collar Jackets; and although we prefer the term Stand Collar Jacket for its lack of cultural specificity, across this website, we employ the terms ‘nehru jackets’ and ‘mandarin collar suits’ to be understood.
Our Nehru Jackets and Mandarin Collar Suits are made to order in London, England, and feature an elegantly curved collar that we call the Meridian. We offer these in a range of fabrics and colors, from soft Irish linen to tussah silk. With their origins in court and military dress, stand collar tailoring is an elegant alternative to the traditional wedding suit and would be the perfect choice for modern men’s evening wear.
