But what is the difference between kaftan, djelaba and takchita?

Even calls them different things but in essence isnt kaftan and takcita one and the same.
Kaftan - 1 layer, with or without belt. Can be formal or casual
Tachita - 2 layers, belted, formal
Jellaba - outdoor wear, with or without hood
Jabador - Top, trousers, with or without hood, formal or casual, indoor or outdoor

Wow, 3 weeks is nothing for high season. Handmade or machine tho'? Machine is much quicker (and cheaper). I never get things hand-made in the summer because it takes forever as tailors are busy with the summer wedding rush
. During the year is quicker, less hassle & cheaper I'm amazed at 3 weeks - what town was that?
