Nepali Rai Fenga — Sleeveless Cotton Jacket for Men

The fenga is the sleeveless jacket of the Rai people, one of Nepal’s Kirat communities — worn by men over a shirt or daura through the working day, and at Sakela, the harvest festival that anchors the Rai calendar. It sits close through the chest and falls straight to the hip, the piece that turns everyday clothes into Rai dress.

Each jacket is cut from undyed cotton that stays light and breathable through long days, its surface carrying the faint slub of the yarn. The front wraps cross-wise and ties at the side rather than buttoning, the way Rai men have fastened the fenga for generations.

Wear it open over a plain shirt for daily use, or over a daura when the occasion calls for it. Each piece is tailor-made to your measurements — after ordering, Bhutib contacts you directly to confirm fit and preferences. A small piece of Kirat identity, made to be worn often.
