Jamkan

Jamkan is a term, primarily used in South Asia, specifically in some parts of Pakistan and India, referring to a long, decorated overcoat or robe. It is typically made from rich fabrics like silk, velvet, or brocade and often adorned with intricate embroidery, beadwork, or other embellishments. Jamkans are traditionally worn by men, especially during formal occasions such as weddings, festivals, and religious ceremonies.

The design and style of a Jamkan can vary depending on the region and the occasion. Some Jamkans are knee-length, while others extend to the ankles. The sleeves can be long and fitted, or loose and flowing. Common colors include vibrant hues like red, gold, green, and blue, reflecting the celebratory nature of the events where they are worn. The garment signifies status and cultural heritage. It is considered a symbol of elegance and traditional craftsmanship.
