Tuman or tuman çakşır [link] are a style of trousers defined in a 1533 dictionary as “chalze senza brachette,” trousers without flies(?), and in 1611 as “halbhosen,” half-trousers, or “unterhosen,” underpants. The derivation is the Persian tunbān, “short breeches; drawers; wrestler’s leathern breeches.”
