Clothing and Apearance Contributions of images, descriptions, full articles, or any other materials are requested. Generaly speaking, the clothing of the Steppes peoples and those culturally connected to them, have remained quite similar over time. Where visible, it consists of a long coat (known variously as Kaftan, Dhel, Chapan, or Khalat), baggy trousers, and boots. The materials here show the specifics of styles, details, and the similarities and differences between the different peoples.
