sheets: or, shirts. This will receive illustration from Mr. Jackson's description of the Moorish dress:
"It resembles that of the ancient patriarchs, as represented in paintings (but the paintings are taken from Asiatic models); that of the men consists of a red cap and turban, a (kumja:) shirt, which hangs outside of the drawers, and comes below the knee; a (caftan:) coat, which buttons close before, and down to the bottom with large open sleeves; over which, when they go out of doors, they throw carelessly, and sometimes elegantly, a hayk:, or garment of white cotton, silk, or wool, five or six yards long, and five feet wide. The Arabs often dispense with the caftan:, and even with the shirt, wearing nothing but the hayk:."
