Leather pants

Lokdor is a type of trousers made of animal skin. Dor means two or a pair; essentially, a set of two things. Because it is for the two legs of the lower body, it is called lokdor. In local dialect it is called kangnam. The pants mentioned here are made of livestock skin, which keep one warm during the cold winter. In nomadic areas, people do not tend to have the habit of wearing trousers. Instead, they usually wear summer and winter robes. However, children and the elderly may wear lokdor in winter to keep warm.
