Tibetan robe
Tibetan robe ( zangpao )
The Tibetans call it zhuba. It is their favorite attire, and the most distinctive hallmark that tells the Tibetans from people of other ethnic backgrounds . The Tibetan robe is loose-fitting, with long sleeves and a wider-than-usual waist, and its front is opened from the right side. The Tibetan robe is made from leather among herdsmen, and woolen fabrics among farmers. Virtually every Tibetan man wears such a robe, which is also pocket-less. Instead of buttons, it is held together with a waist band, with the front puffing up so as to hold wooden bowls, roast barley flour bag, butter container and even an infant in the bosom.
