My great friend MR recently came back from a three week job in Mongolia and returned with a Deel (or Del) for me. After working the last three nights in Connecticut, I wrapped myself in it's silk lining and passed out. It feels great.
"The del is the Mongols' traditional garment worn on both workdays and special days. It is a long, loose gown cut in one piece with the sleeves; it has a high collar and widely overlaps at the front. The del is girdled with a sash."
"The del for everyday wear is grey, brown or some other dark colour, while the holiday del is a bright blue, green or claret silk with a silk sash of contrasting colour several metres long."
