Full-sleeved waistcoat, A 19th century garment similar to a jacket
A mirzai (or mirzaee) was a garment similar to a jacket with "long and loose sleeves and open cuffs". It was worn under the jacket by males in the Indian subcontinent in the 19th century. The mirzai was sometimes made with cotton padding to protect the wearer from cold. 
Name and mentions.
Mirzai or "mirzāi" is a Hindustani language word that means a jacket. John Forbes Watson describes a mirzaee in his work titled "Textile Manufactures and Costumes of the people of India" as a garment of “respectable Mahomedans” and high ranking servants employed by Europeans, who wore the mirzai beneath an outer garment called a kuba, or quba.
A "kufcha" was a similar garment with tight sleeves, and "dugla" was a term for a mirzai that was quilted.
