Kebe

Literally the term for a type of thick felt, kebe was also a name for an overcoat made of felt. As the cheapest and least sturdy form of wool cloth, felt was generally a working-class fabric, though some forms of felt–like Yanbolu kebe, a famously hairy and high-quality felt made in Yanbolu–were fine enough to be worn by people of comfortable means. Unfortunately, we don’t have any clear idea what a kebe coat looked like, or even whether it had a distinctive shape.
