Long before red carpets and cocktail invites, the Jodhpuri hunter shirt was made for rugged terrain — the kind that tested not just fabric but fortitude.
Worn by Rajasthani kings, British officers, and aristocrats of old, it wasn’t crafted for elegance — it earned it. It was meant for horseback chases, long rides into the forest, and evenings around a desert fire. But something strange happened: its sharp lines, confident silhouette, and royal bearing refused to stay in the wild.
Today, the hunter coat is no longer just a relic of expeditions — it’s an emblem of timeless Indian menswear. And at Deepee’s Jodhpur, we’ve brought it back, tailored to the life and style of the modern Indian man.
Chapter Two: What Exactly Is a Hunter Coat?
The hunter coat sits somewhere between a military trench and a Bandhgala — only with a sharper edge.
It typically features:
- A structured, full-length cut that elongates the frame
- High collars, often in mandarin style
- Minimal ornamentation — think flap pockets, strong buttons, and straight lines
- Muted, earthy tones: deep olive, desert rust, charcoal grey, military green, and occasionally midnight blue
It’s formal, but not stiff. Functional, but far from plain.
And most importantly — it isn’t trying too hard.
Chapter Three: Why the Hunter Coat Still Belongs in Your Wardrobe
In a world overflowing with loud patterns, velvet trims, and overly embroidered jackets, the hunter coat is a breath of stoic, silent confidence. It’s for the man who doesn’t have to announce his arrival — because his presence does the talking.
Here’s why the hunter coat is not just relevant, but necessary:
- Versatility Across Occasions: You can wear it to a Sangeet and a sundowner. Over a kurta, or over a turtleneck. With boots or with loafers. Not many ethnic pieces can do that.
- Seasonal Strength: Perfect for Indian winters — especially North India. It keeps you warm without looking bulky, thanks to tailored inner linings and breathable suiting fabrics.
- Royal Heritage Without the Drama: If you want a touch of royalty without going full maharaja, the hunter coat is your weapon of choice.
- Statement Value Without Shouting: Its very presence feels like a slow burn — the more you wear it, the more it becomes you.

Chapter Seven: Why Jodhpur Is the Soul of Royal Menswear
There’s a reason the hunter coat’s revival began in Jodhpur. This isn’t just a city — it’s a world of color, history, desert wind, and sharp silhouettes. Here, men wore purpose with pride. Outfits didn’t just match the season — they matched their stature.
At Deepee’s, we don’t just sell clothing. We bring stories to life.
And our hunter coats are stitched with the silence of forts, the shadows of royal hunts, and the strength of desert-born men.
