For their head-dress, the Sultans of Delhi usually wore a kulāh or the tall Tartar cap. Jalāl-ud-dīn is reported to have worn a turban. For coating they used tight-fitting tunics or qaba, made of muslin or fine wool. In cold weather, the Sultan wore an overcoat over the tunic, called the dagla, which was like a dressing gown stuffed with carded cotton. The upper-country Brahman put a caste-mark (tilaka) on his forehead and a dhoti. In Gujarat, some people used a red handkerchief as head-dress. Some of the Gujarati Banias wore long shirts of silk or cotton and short coats of silk. The Brahmans of Gujarat wore a dhoti and usually went bare above the waist.
