Rubashka - More commonly known as an ashka, it is an outer tunic or garment worn over an inner tunic by servants and other lower class Kandavan associated folks. It generally splits at the waist and is traditionally worn over a pair of billowy   usrus-pants.  Set with buttons or toggles down the front, decorated with embroidery, or with stripes are the most traditional decorations. Like their enterprising female halves Laketown merchants are known to dress in the ashka and rus-pants to seem more "worldly" and respectable.
