Kabney

A kabney (Dzongkha: བཀབ་ནེ་, Wylie: bkab-ne) is a silk scarf worn as a part of the gho, the traditional male attire in Bhutan.

Kabney is worn over the traditional coat gho; it runs from the left shoulder to the right hip, and is worn at special occasions or when visiting a dzong.

Kabney is also referred as Bura, which means wild silk.

The use of gho and kabney is encouraged in Bhutan as a part of driglam namzha (or driklam namzhak), the official code of etiquette and dress code of Bhutan.

Gho is compulsory for schoolboys and government officials.
