For female slaves:
•Curla: A red cord tied about the waist.
•Chatka: A long, narrow (about 6" wide) strip of black leather
that passes between the girl's legs and is held in place in
front and back by the curla. It is slipped between the flesh and
the cord and drawn up tightly, leaving the ends of the leather
strip hanging in front and behind like a breechclout.
•Kalmak: A short, open, sleeveless vest of black leather.
•Koora: A strip of red cloth matching the curla which is wound
around the head to secure the slave's hair. In the books, Tuchuk
slaves are not permitted to braid their hair or bind it in any
other fashion.
For male slaves:
•Kes: a short sleeveless tunic of black leather.
Winter garb -- male and female slaves
"The Wintering was not unpleasant, although, even so far north,
the days and nights were often quite chilly; the Wagon Peoples
and their slaves as well, wore boskhide and furs during this
time; both male and female, slave or free, wore furred boots and
trousers, coats and the flopping, ear-flapped caps that tied
under the chin; in this time there was often no way to mark the
distinction between the free woman and the slave girl, save that
the hair of the latter must needs be unbound; in some cases of
course, the Turian collar was visible, if worn on the outside of
the coat, usually under the furred collar; the men too, free and
slave were dressed similarly, save that the Kajiri, or he-slaves
wore shackles, usually with a run of about a foot of
chain."—Nomads, 59
“Among the Wagon Peoples, to be Clad Kajir means, for a girl, to
wear four articles, two red, two black; a red cord, the Curla,
is tied about the waist; the Chatka, or long, narrow strip of
black leather, fits over this cord in front, passes under, and
then again, from the inside, passes over the cord in the back;
the Chatka is drawn tight; the Kalmak is then donned; it is a
short, open, sleeveless vest of black leather; lastly the Koora,
a strip of red cloth, matching the Curla, is wound about the
head, the hold the hair back, for slave women, among the Wagon
Peoples, are not permitted to braid, or otherwise dress their
hair; it must be, save for the Koora, worn loose. For a male
slave, or Kajirus, of the Wagon Peoples, and there are few, save
for the work chains, to be Clad Kajir means to wear the Kes, a
short, sleeveless work tunic of black leather.”—Nomads, 30
“Gracefully, insolently, the silken yellow sheet moved about and
across her body and fell from her. She stood facing me, in
pretended anger, graceful and beautiful. She wore the Sirik and
was, of course, clad Kajir, clad in the Curla and Chatka, the
red cord and the narrow strip of black leather; in the Kalmak,
the brief vest, open and sleeveless, of black leather; and in
the Koora, the strip of red cloth that bound back her brown
hair. About her throat was the Turian collar with its chain,
attached to slave bracelets and ankle rings, one of the latter
attached to the chain running to the slave ring. I saw that her
left thigh, small and deep, bore the brand of the four bosk
horns.”—Nomads, 282
