James Atkinson writes: ".....they (Kakars) wear, during winter, a short close jacket of sheep's skin, with an upper garment or cloak of felt, made with sleeves closed at the end, which they use as pockets to carry provisions in. The felt is manufactured of wool. The women knead

it in their hands till it assumes a consistency: it is then spread to size required, and, when finished, is from a quarter to half an inch thick, and soft and pliant. Mutton, or goat's flesh, cut into small pieces and roasted on their ramrods, forms their chief food. When they

possess grain, it is pounded and baked by being plastered on a heated stone. "

@Pashz7 Probably how my Lodhi ancestors dressed — horse traders back in the 18th / 19th centuries who were promised statehood by the British.

@Pashz7 We Kakars call it "Postheen"
