Notes
While Iranian tailors typically use local fabrics for the outside of women's and men's robes, with cheap European printed fabrics used as linings, this man's Qabba robe is the proverbial exception to this rule. It is made of machine printed cotton fabric that mimics a very soft termah wool fabric
