About this design
The Ngaoundere is a fitted jacket with a band collar, closed down the centre with a row of metal buttons and finished with flap pockets. With no lapels, it draws a clean vertical line that lengthens your silhouette. Wear it over plain trousers you already own, and it instantly smartens up a simple shirt or a good T-shirt.
A fitted jacket leaves no room for guesswork: shoulders a little too wide or sleeves a little too long, and the whole look falls apart. Made to measure solves that. Your Douala tailor cuts the jacket to your shoulder width, chest and arm length, then KOUTIVA checks the quality before delivery. The collar stands straight and the buttons close without pulling.
Styling tips
- Pair it with plain trousers in a shade from the jacket: navy with gabardine, beige or black with the green and gold tweed.
- Button it right up to the collar for a formal look, no tie needed.
- For a dot, choose gold and green kente for the body, or just the collar for a subtle accent.
- Let the metal buttons act as jewellery and keep the rest of the outfit simple.
Choosing your fabric
Midnight blue gabardine suits the office and official ceremonies, green and gold tweed suits rainy-season evenings, and gold and green kente or indigo ndop make a proud statement at a dot or wedding.

Frequently asked questions
Are trousers included?
No, the Ngaoundere comes on its own and is designed to be worn over plain trousers. For matching trousers, see our suits such as the Mboppi set. The jacket's body, collar, pockets and sleeves can each take a different fabric.
I don't know how to measure myself. What should I do?
The illustrated guide shows where to place the tape for each measurement. In Douala, you can also ask a KOUTIVA agent to take them.
What does the price cover?
The price shown covers made-to-measure tailoring and the fabric you selected. Our team then calls you to confirm the order, as online payment isn't available yet.
How long does delivery take?
It depends on the design and the workshop's schedule. Our team confirms the timing when they call you to confirm your order.
