Lovely old hand tailored Moiré heavy blue silk men’s chapan. I purchased this over 30 years ago in Peshawar (and has been in storage ever since), so I assume it is Pashtun. It was old when I bought so it is safe to say it is at least 50 years old. It is an excellent condition, no tears, stains etc and still quite wearable. There are shoulder pads, one inner pocket, and two slit pockets on the oustside. Shoulder width 53cm, chest width 65cm, sleeve length 66cm and full length 112cm.
