Pado (pocket panel)
Toi stepped-diamond chain with kap border
9 × 74 cm, left front
(T21-01)Ankle-length wrap robe
The old Balochi robe, cut as an asymmetric wrap.
(01)Design intent
Before the present shalwar kameez, Baloch men wore a robe to the ankles. The Pashk Coat returns to that length and cuts it as an off-centre wrap: dropped shoulders, a deep overlap and chin pleats releasing volume at the waist. One full-length pado panel runs from the waist to the hem, worked in pakka doch so the ground cloth disappears under the stitching.
