Lockwood Kipling, C.I.E._] The new fashion in vogue amongst the younger generation of Mussulman is called the _ikbarah_ or _patalunnuma_, which is like the European trousers. They are usually made of calico; they have no buttons but are fastened with string (kamarband). Bathing drawers are called _ghutannah_ and reach to the knee. The tight drawers worn by wrestlers are called _janghiah_. Garments for outdoor wear are the _anga_, or _angarkha_, the _chapkan_, the _achkan_ or _sherwani_; the _anga_, a coat with full sleeves, is made of any material, white or coloured. It is slit at the sides, has perpendicularly cut side-pockets, and is fastened with strings just below the breast. It is opened on the right or left side according to local custom. The _anga_ is now considered old-fashioned, and is chiefly worn by elderly men or religious persons. It is still not uncommon in Delhi, Agra, Lucknow and at native courts, but is being superseded by the _achkan_ (Plate I. fig. 4), which is buttoned straight down the front. Both _anga_ and _achkan_ reach to a little below the knee, as also does the _chapkan_, a relic of Mogul court dress, best known as the shield-like and highly adorned coat worn by government _chaprasis_ (Plate II. fig. 3). Over the _anga_ is sometimes worn an overcoat called a _choga_; this is made of any material, thick or thin, plain or ornamented; it has one or two fastenings only, loops below the breast whence it hangs loosely to below the knees. The _choga_ is sometimes known by its Arabic names _aba_ or _kaba_, terms applied to it when worn by priests or ulemas. In cold weather Pathans and other border residents wear _posteens_, sleeved coats made of sheepskin with the woolly side in. In India farther south in cold weather an overcoat called _dagla_ is worn; this is an _anga_ padded with cotton wool. A padded _choga_ is called _labada_; when very heavily padded _farghul_. Whereas the European wears his waistcoat _under_ his coat, the Indian wears his _over_ his _anga_ or _chapkan_ (not over the _achkan_). A sleeveless waistcoat generally made of silk is called a _sadari_; when it has half sleeves it is called _nimastin_; the full-sleeved waistcoat worn in winter padded with cotton is called _mirzai_. For ceremonial purposes a coat called _jama_ is worn. This fits closely as to the upper part of the body, but flows loosely below the waist. It is generally white, and is fastened in front by strings.
