- sheets:
- or, shirts. This will receive illustration from Mr. Jackson's description of the Moorish dress:
"It resembles that of the ancient patriarchs, as represented in paintings (but the paintings are taken from Asiatic models); that of the men consists of a red cap and turban, a (
kumja) shirt, which hangs outside of the drawers, and comes below the knee; a (
caftan) coat, which buttons close before, and down to the bottom with large open sleeves; over which, when they go out of doors, they throw carelessly, and sometimes elegantly, a
hayk, or garment of white cotton, silk, or wool, five or six yards long, and five feet wide. The Arabs often dispense with the
caftan, and even with the shirt, wearing nothing but the
hayk."
