The Jodhpur pants of 1890 is today’s trend
Recently I realized the crazed for this Jodhpur pants among the crowd. Where ever I go out with my friends they have been hankering for it. Where did they come from? Does anybody even know that? Sorry, but I had no clue before I wrote this post. Means I just found out about it.
The history of jodhpurs is tied up with the history of the game of Polo. Polo was played more than 2500 years ago throughout Persia and Central Asia. The game had different names like Chaugan and Bushkazi and often didn’t use a ball, but the players were always on horseback. The game came down into India along with various Islamic invasions and was played particularly in the Northern area, which is now Rajasthan
It was in 1890 Maharaja Pratap Singh of Jodhpur started wearing riding breeches tailored for the game. These were cut in a wing-shape and had leather patches between the knees. With time people appreciated the comfort of these pants and it became as the staple dress for the polo players. So the trend started from the men and soon by 1920s women adopted the same by showing their interest in playing polo. Thus the jodhpuri pants were discovered.
Today they are worn traditionally with sherwani or even as trousers for a more modernized look. It can be even clubbed with hunting shirts, short shirts, Jodhpur coat or Nehru jacket. These pants have their own royalty when worn and will continue to be in trend this season.
