Jubba
which means wrapper, cloak, coat, outer garment. It is a coat worn over clothes, usually during the cold winter months. This one is made of Bekasab which is a twill-woven fabric with silk warp and thick cotton weft, giving it a quilted feel and look. They come in many variations depending on the locality and custom/traditions. This one is a daily wear chapan from Uzbekistan. You will undoubtedly see these everywhere in the country. These chapans have no buttons, zippers or fastners and has no pockets. Once you put it on, the chapan will basically hang loose. The inside is lined with printed cotton fabric. Very authentic.
