They sound like a very typical pakistani salwar...i have 6 "punnjabi "suits""
and all the pants are like thtat shough they have been made by 6 different

i have never seen a pattern..and quite frankly the ones that were custom made
for me were cranked out by different {akistani tailors with one hand bhind
their backs....aint that the coolest???
