Chapan
Chapan (چاپان) or (چپان) (from Turkic "chapghan", meaning "sewn together", which is also the same rootword of modern Anatolian and Istanbul Turkish "cepken") is a coat worn over clothes, usually during the cold winter months. Usually worn by men, these coats are adorned with intricate threading and come in a variety of colors and patterns. It is worn in Central Asia, including Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.[1] A chapan cape was often worn by former Afghan president Hamid Karzai.
