Rajesh Pratap Singh set out to make a dress shirt for the hours after dark. The Nightjar is what that looks like.
Crafted in cotton satin. The fabric that catches light without chasing it. A surface that shifts between matte and luminous depending on how you move through a room.
A tuxedo bib front, redrawn for now. The reference is the 1920s dress shirt. Formal. Considered. Built for a particular kind of evening. The execution is entirely contemporary.
Graded pin tucks run down the bib. The signature detail of the Rajesh Pratap Singh studio. Precise where everything else is fluid. The collaboration mnemonic logo is embroidered at the front side panel.
Part of the Pratap x Nicobar SS26 collection. Named for the Nilgiri Nightjar. A bird of the twilight hours. Camouflaged in stillness. Impossible to ignore once seen.
Style it with: The Gaur Bandhgala over it for a complete evening look. The denim pyjama pants when the occasion asks for less ceremony. A shirt that knows what hour it was made for.
