Rokbeigalmki only has two real clothing words so far:

nguhraash = sarong
adereth = cloak?  i don't think there's really a word in English for
this.  it looks just like a full-sized Jewish prayershawl, except without
fringes.  the last time i talked about Rokbeigalmki clothing i had a nice
picture on the web to point to that shows what a prayershawl looks like,
but the whole site seems to have disappeared.
