Hamid Karzai's outfit

What's with Karzai's getup anyway. How quaint,one is tempted to say. Very ethnic, Afghani chic!
Not! It appears to be an attempt at symbolizing unity. Although he is from the same Pashtun clan that has provided Afghanistan's kings, he must want to appear as an everyman. OK,the cloak is chapan, its Uzbek,Turkic people. Its usually not worn as a cape and is usually belted. The hat is a Karakul(means black fur, in Turkic also) and is worn by a lots of Tajiks( an Indo Iranian people) Afghanis wear turbans or Pakols( the beret like hat of the mujaheddin), not karakuls. Oh yeah, a western suit,like hey guys,I'm hip, I like hip hop and pizza too! And the shirt, well looks like a cut down thobe or dishdasha, like they wear in Saudi and the Emirates. Western, Islamic, and culturally aware all in one. Maybe it works in Kabul. Maybe everyone will start wearing these things,just like Iraqi's all sported Saddam style moustaches.
But lets say I showed up to big event wearing a bishops mitre, a cowboy shirt, kilt and gothic motorcycle boots. Would that work? Is this what Afghani's see? Some do.
