The word  “Chapan” is first used on page 61 of The Kite Runner. Amir is describing what Hassan is wearing right before the kite-fighting tournament is about to begin. A chapan is a type of men’s clothing that people in countries like Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan wear. It is usually worn in the cold winter months over other clothes to keep you warm. Hassan is wearing it because the kite-fighting tournament goes on in winter so Hassan dons a chapan to keep warm

Pirhan-Tumban

The pirhan-tumban is first mentioned in The Kite Runner on page 279. Amir is in the room with Assef, and Sohrab walks in wearing a “sapphire blue pirhan-tumban”.

  A pirhan-tumban is a traditional dress and pants worn in the Middle East usually by Muslims.

This is relevant to The Kite Runner because it was a very common peace of clothing during that time and still is today.

Shalwar-Kameezes

 The shalwar-kameezes are first mentioned in The Kite Runner on page 299. Amir is staying in the hospital and his roommate has family members come and visit him. Amir says that the women are wearing “bright shalwar kameezes”.

  A shalwar kameez is a long tunic worn over a pair of baggy trousers, usually worn by women, especially in Pakistan. There is also a shalwar kameez that is worn by men. It similarly includes a loose shirt and baggy trousers.

  The women that come to visit Amir’s roommate are wearing this type of clothing which means that they follow the common things that people do in the Middle East, as this type of clothing can be found anywhere.

  Burqa

  The term burqa is first mentioned in The Kite Runner on page 327. Amir and Sohrab are coming out of the American Embassy, Amir is very frustrated with what he has been told. Amir looks at the secretary and is surprised that she is wearing something different than a “burqa or a shalwar-kameez”.

  A burqa is a a loose, usually black or light blue robe that is worn by Muslim women, especially in Afghanistan, and that covers the body from head to toe.

  Just like the shalwar a kameez, Amir explains that these two types of clothing are very common and that he might even be getting tired of seeing women wearing the same thing all day long.

The hijab is first mentioned in The Kite Runner on page 174. Guests are arriving to Baba’s funeral. The women are described as being “…clad in black dresses, their heads covered with traditional white hijabs.” A hijab is a garment that is supposed to ensure modesty in a women by covering her. There are many schools of thought about what parts of the body the hijab should cover and at what age a woman should wear it. The Koran instructs both men and women to dress modestly, but different people interpret in different ways. In America, the hijab is mostly regarded as formal dress and not necessary to wear at all times. The reason the women at Baba’s funeral are wearing it is because it is a formal occasion and they have to dress up.
