[Hellsgate] Indian Garb at Texas Thrift

[alianorra.mackkye]

Greetings to the Stronghold of Hellsgate. 

Perhaps a class on the difference in men and women's Middle Eastern attire would be beneficial?  

Would Johanna contact me offlist and we can discuss this topic for an A&S night? I have examples of both men's and women's Middle Eastern attire from multiple cultures.

One wonders if perchance a few of these are souvenirs from Afghanistan. . .
These garments are worn by many different peoples, and can historically be
seen anywhere Turkic groups exist or existed - as far west as Anatolia, as
far east as China.  Today you primarily run into them in Central Asia and
India.

And it is important to note that these are unisex garments - both men and
women wear them.  The primary difference is what you wear on your head.
Men wear a variety of hats or caps depending on their culture and women
typically wear shawls or wraps.

It is even better if you can find a tunic that uses a traditional style of
sleeves rather than modern, European-inspired set-in sleeves.
