Khetpartug (Pashto: خت پړتوګ, khət paṛtūg) khat partoog, is a type of Pashtun clothing worn in Afghanistan.
Khet partug traces its history back to the Kushan and The Parthian nobility, It is said that clans of the Parthians named Karl and Serb, likely The Pashtun Confederacies of Karlani and Sarbani wore this type of tunic and baggy pants.
Khet partug is the ancestor of the men's shalwar kameez worn in Afghanistan and Pakistan and is likely also the ancestor of the sherwani wedding dresses worn in India, since the name sherwani derives from sarwani, which is itself mispronounced from sarbani.
[citation needed] The khet is the upper garment which is loose and slightly tightened at the waist and is more like a tunic or a robe, similar to a smock with wide sleeves and reaching below the knees.
[4] The partug is the lower garment which is very loose and full of pleats, with folds all around the waist and made of yards of material.
