1836 E. W. Lane Acct. Manners & Customs Mod. Egyptians I. i. 49 Over the shirt and shintiya′n is worn a long vest (called yel′ek)... The yel′ek is cut in such a manner as to leave half of the bosom uncovered, except by the shirt; but many ladies have it made more ample at that part; and, according to the most approved fashion, it should be of a sufficient length to reach to the ground.
1865 W. Hepworth Holy Land II. 49 The yelek, a vest, is worn by these ladies open at the front.
