7. The Qabá, which is at present generally called jámah i pumbahdár, is a wadded coat. It requires 1 s. of cotton, and 2 m. silk. Price, one rupee to a quarter rupee. 8. The Gadar is a coat wider and longer than the qabá, and contains more wadding. In Hindústán, it takes the place of a fur-coat. It requires seven yards of stuff, six yards of lining, four girihs binding, nine for bordering, 2½ s. cotton, 3 m. silk. Price, from one-half to one and one-half rupees. 9. The Farjí has no binding, and is open in front. Some put buttons to it. It is worn over the jámah (coat), and requires 5 y. 12 g. stuff; 5 y. 5 g. lining; 14 g. bordering; 1 s. cotton; 1 m. silk. Price, from a quarter to one rupee. 10. The Fargul resembles the yápanchí, but is more comfortable and becoming. It was brought from Europe; but every one now-a-days wears it. They make it of various stuffs. It requires 9 y. 6½ g. stuff, the same quantity of lining, 6 m. silk, 1 s. cotton. It is made both single and double. Price, from 4 to 2 R. 11. The Chakman is made of broadcloth, or woollen stuff, or wax cloth. His Majesty has it made of Dáráí wax cloth, which is very light and pretty. The rain cannot go through it. It requires 6 y. stuff, 5 g. binding, and 2 m. silk. The price of making one of broadcloth is 2 R.; of wool, 1½ R.; of wax cloth, ½ R.
