The Bagru bomber jacket carries a Rajasthani hand block print on a modern, zip-front silhouette, its cotton shell stamped by hand near Jaipur with carved wooden blocks and natural dyes. Ribbed cuffs and a ribbed hem give it structure, while small buti motifs keep it rooted in the craft. Layer it over a tee, a shirt, or a kurta. For the exact fabric composition, please see the specifications panel.
Dry in shade to preserve natural colors and fabric quality. Hand wash separately in cold water with mild detergent. Do not bleach.
Each piece is handcrafted, so slight variations in colour, texture and dimension are natural and celebrate its handmade origin.
A bomber cut makes this one of the easier block prints to wear. The silhouette is familiar. So the Bagru print does the talking.
Everyday casual: zip it over a plain white tee and straight-leg jeans, add clean white sneakers, and let the ribbed collar and cuffs hold the shape so the jacket reads structured rather than loose. This look carries from a coffee run to a weekend market. Easy, all day.
Fusion smart: pair the jacket with a solid kurta and slim trousers or churidar, keeping the inner layer plain so the block print stays the focus. Juttis or loafers finish it. It suits a daytime festive lunch or a relaxed office just as well.
Layered occasion: over a monochrome dress or a fitted top with palazzos, the jacket becomes the statement piece of the outfit and carries the whole look on its own. Let the printed cotton contrast a solid base. Keep jewellery small.
Fit notes: a bomber sits at the hip with a little room through the body, so it layers cleanly over a tee or a thin kurta without pulling across the shoulders. Between sizes and planning to layer? Size up. Check the measurements against a jacket you already own.
Care while wearing: natural dyes soften gently over time, which is part of the character. Keep the jacket off wet bags and damp seats on the first few wears, since fresh natural dye can transfer onto lighter surfaces before it is fully washed. A quick air out keeps the cotton fresh between washes.
This jacket begins as plain cotton and a set of hand carved wooden blocks. Everything that follows is done by hand in Bagru, a printing town near Jaipur where the Chhipa community has printed and dyed cloth for many generations.
Preparing the cloth: the cotton is first washed and treated with a mordant so it will hold natural dye evenly across the whole length. This quiet step decides how clean the final print looks. Skip it and the dye sits patchy.
Carving and registering the block: each motif is chiseled into a wooden block by a carver, then the printer stamps it across the cloth entirely by eye, re-inking and re-aligning the block for every single impression down the fabric. Small shifts between repeats are normal, and they are the signature of a hand that placed each stamp rather than a machine that rolled it out in one pass.
Dabu resist and natural dye: Bagru is known for dabu, a method where a thick mud paste is printed by hand onto the areas meant to stay pale before any colour is added. The cloth is then dyed, often in an indigo vat or with madder and iron based colours drawn from plants and minerals. Where the mud sat, the dye cannot reach. So the motif surfaces once the paste is rinsed away.
Washing, drying and finishing: the printed cloth is rinsed in water and dried flat under the open Rajasthan sun, which helps set the colour into the fibre. Only then is the fabric cut and tailored into the bomber shape, with its ribbed collar, cuffs and hem stitched in. For the exact fibre content of this piece, please check the specifications panel.
