All members, regardless of rank, wore the same uniform; a khaki shirt with khaki "pyjama" secured with a belt, together with military boots. The khaki colour was chosen because it was "simple and unassuming" and "cheap and available for all", although in practice the uniforms were paid for by the Khaksar organisation. They wore a red badge ("akhuwat") on their right arm as a symbol of brotherhood. On their heads Khaksars wore the white handkerchief of the Arabs and "Hajis", consisting of a white cloth the length and width of one and one-half yards which was secured around the head with a cotton string. Some Khaksar's wore the Pashtun style turban on their head with the cloth flowing down and a fan shaped "shamla" peaking up.
