What Is The Proper Name For The Decorative Vest Worn Over A Galabaya?
I was just in Egypt, and we went to Marsa Matruh while I was there, because my father has some property there. I noticed that all the men there wore the plain white galabayas with the vest with embroidery over them. I asked, and was told that that is most commonly a Libyan item of clothing, and that that is why I saw so many of them there. I did see a few in Cairo, as well, but was unable to find any in stores.
Can some nice Egyptian please tell me what the proper name is so I can try to find some online for sale? I am talking about the vests which are cut very square, and have soutache (braided cord) trim sewn on them. I need a name for them if I am ever going to find a place that sells them.
Thanks very much for your help.
And by the way, I tried searching under "Middle Eastern Vest" and all I got was the long abaya vests the Saudis wear over their robes. That's not what I want. I want the short ones.
Thanks.
it is a beduin sedeiri .
