Epstein Files Reveal Emails Mentioning Indian Shalwar-Kurta

One email in the latest Epstein files shows Jeffrey Epstein discussing Indian traditional clothing. In the exchange, Epstein says he “loved” the outfit and asked what the pants were called. He was told the pants are called shalwar and the shirt kurta, adding that they can be worn at Indian parties.

Epstein then replied that he wanted to buy five more sets, asking for a slightly larger shirt size. While the email itself may seem harmless, it has drawn attention because it highlights how Epstein’s communication stretched into cultural and international spaces, something investigators say was common in his interactions.
