A khalat (Persian: ???? ?/ALA-LC: xalat ) is loose , silk outer sleeves or cotton robes common in Central Asia, Pakistan and northern India and worn by both men and women, albeit in different styles.
Historically, richly ornate gifts have been used as honors, just like robes. The word khalat/khilat is also used to indicate the ceremony of honor cloak. The social aspects of such clothing have been known in many societies. In the nineteenth century in British India, the word khillat meant a gift of money or goods supplied by the Government of India in return for the services of princes, clans, and tribal leaders.
Central Asia's fragrance can be a decorative thin dress, or a thick, full-length robe, and a good protection from exposure to heat and light and cold.
The word khalat is one of many loans that can be found in Russian, where the term is a generic term for various robes. In Romanian this word halat is used, which means dressing gown, bathrobe, outfit, camouflage robe, etc. The same outfit is known as Chapan in Turkey.
