Fine brown silk shirt (beshmet), with black trim. Footnote: Beshmet is an open garment that reaches to the knees; sometimes it is quilted. It is in the form of a buttoned half-caftan with a standing collar and is gathered into folds, belted at the waist and is girded with a saber belt (which is a leather belt decorated with copper and silver plaques) to which a dagger or saber was attached. Beshmet tightly fits the chest and waist, and the sleeves are long and narrow. The length is slightly above the knees or knee-length, with a back cut at the waist, straight solid floors fastened to the waist with a hook, with side wedges. It was worn under caftans such as chokha or chekmen, but in everyday life, it could be worn on its own. It shares similarities with the arkhalig, although, arkhalig is worn as a jacket while beshmet is more comparable to a tunic.
