A sultan embodies moral weight and religious authority; he should not be confused with an emir or caliph. These distinctions from the Islamic cultural sphere may only be of marginal interest to the gentleman in the sultan costume; what matters most is that he looks fantastic. And he does, in his black trousers held up by a gold-colored belt. Additionally, he wears a red vest and a turban adorned with a feather. Fortunately, the turban is already tied, so he can skip the complicated wrapping process. Instead, this dapper gentleman prefers to spend his time searching for a belly dancer with whom he can really have a blast at the next carnival party.
