You won't find exactly what you're looking for in Punjab. Some people get their outfits customised there. So you can

  • buy fabric of your choice from a local shop
  • get it dyed from a fabric dyer (very common in Punjab)
  • give an embroidery design you want made to artisans
  • take that embroidered fabric to be stitched to a tailor

This process can take 2 weeks or more. This can be done in any city of Punjab.

Bro, you should decide whether you want to wear bana or an aichken.

An Achkan is a tailored jacket that goes to or just past the knees. It's considered formalwear for men in India.

Bana is the uniform of the Khalsa dal (army). It's a plain navy blue chola (tunic).

Because it's a uniform, there's no embroidery. The entire point is that you're a soldier ready to tangle as necessary.

There's nothing at all wrong with wearing an achkan. If you want to wear something dressy, wear an embroidered achkan.

Mixing and matching is like adding sugar to a dal/sabzi. It's like you want the cachet of a bana ("I'm a hardcore Khalsa warrior") and also want to show off.
