New Uniforms

A couple of us bought some new uniforms today, I modelled in the pictures above. This is the traditional attire for the Afghani men. There are a couple different styles of hats, I chose the one that covers more of the top of the head, for obvious reasons. The clothes are called "man jammies" or "man dresses" by us Americans. I'm not sure what the true name is for them, I'll have to ask Mike. I like "man jammies".

You definitely need a belt, the pants are made one size fits all. I think I could fit in one leg of the pants. Very loose fitting, and cool in the hot summers. I'm going to have to send the top/shirt back to the tailors, I evidently have a larger head than most Afghanis. When I put it on I could barely get my head through the neck opening and I popped the seam a little. I'll ask them to add another button for the neck.

Maybe I'll have to wear my "man jams" to work when I get home, maybe not. I think it will be an around the house outfit for those relaxing evenings later this summer.
