A qashabiya (Template:Lang-ar), also styled Kachabia, Kachabiya or kchabia, is a traditional Algerian garment. It is made of camel hair and wool, and is held in high esteem by many Algerians because of the warmth it provides during cold winters.

Description

Man in a Qashabiya

It is a long brown garment with a hood that is comparable to the djellaba but considerably thicker. A qashabiya is made of pure wool or wbar (camel hair). This outfit is from the region of Djelfa of central Algeria. It is particularly popular among residents of Algeria's central and eastern semi-arid areas (Ammi Moussa, Relizane, Chlef, Djelfa, M'sila, Aurès, Biskra, Bou-Saada ...).

It is part of the outfits worn by the Chaoui people and was subsequently exported throughout the country and even crossed borders to neighboring countries. Modern Kachabia come in a variety of colors and designs and may be worn by both men and women, despite the fact that it is still considered a masculine outfit.
