What was the peculiar dress of the bakers during the Portuguese days? What is a person called if he wears half-pants?

During the Portuguese days, the bakers wore a peculiar dress called the ‘kabai’, which was a frock in a single piece, reaching up to the knees. But during his childhood, the author had seen the bakers wearing shirts with trousers that were longer than half pants, but shorter than a full length one. Even today, anyone who wears a half pant which reaches just below the knees invites the comment that he is dressed like a ‘pader’.
