Man’s silk robe, front opening, of striped fabric which runs vertically on the body of the robe. An additional panel of fabric broadens the robe at either side of the front opening, and a further strip forms a lapel. The sleeves are formed of two separate pieces of cloth with the stripes running round the arm. Small gusset below armpit. A band of simple black embroidery against green above each cuff and along the centre of the lapel, which has a length of red and white looped embroidery along the inner edge of the upper part. Trimmed with red and white braid around the opening, hem and cuffs. Lined mostly with factory-printed cotton cloth, and with brown corduroy around the edges. Afghanistan.
