The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge spent the third day of their Royal Visit to Pakistan in the Chitral district located in the northwestern region of the country along the international border with Afghanistan.
The royal couple were gifted with traditional Chitrali hats, jackets and shawl on arrival. Below is a better look at the beautifully embroidered jacket. Kate wore a mix of new and old for the tour of this mountainous region. We saw the return of the Really Wild Clothing Nubuck Waistcoat which she teamed with a dark brown shirt and a toffee brown midi skirt. As it turns out, the shirt is actually a dress! Thanks to @Bojana's amazing detective work, she found the button and pocket details are a match for the Mint Velvet Chocolate Utility shirt dress (RRP: £99 - now £69). 
This chocolate-brown dress is cut in a relaxed shirt silhouette that buttons down the front with utilitarian detail, from buttoned epaulettes and cuff tabs to front flap pockets and a tonal belt. It is woven with silk-like cupro for added drape. 
The brand of the midi is unfortunately unknown, and the black suede belt is by Hobbs London - the 'Alisha' style.

The earrings are inspired by Colombia's rich artistry and heritage. The bobble-trimmed charms are suspended from dainty hoops in a brushed-gold finish. With thanks to @emgcollins for the ID. 
The Duchess arrived wearing a camel fringe wool scarf draped on her left shoulder but later swapped it for a cream bobble and scalloped lace trim shawl. Emily Andrew's tells us the shawl was given to Kate in Chitral by the Scout leader of the local area - echoing Kate’s association with the Scouts in the UK.
William and Kate visited the Chiatibo glacier in the Hindu Kush mountain range and walked around the northern tip of the glacier. They saw how it has retreated in recent years as a result of global warming.

In Bumburet, the Duke and Duchess saw several inspiring community-led initiatives that aim to equip locals with the tools they need to adjust to the changing landscape and weather patterns of the area.

For their final stop of the day, the royal couple visited a settlement of the Kalash people, to learn more about their culture and unique heritage.

This look is a little too little house on the prairie for me...but completely appropriate for the occasion. Love the earrings. The embroidered coat she received is so beautiful! Love seeing them in the traditional hats, etc.

Did you mean the tv show Bonanza? To me, it reminds of the Bonanza show colours. All earth tones. Very clever and eclectic. How did she pull it off and look so much at ease. :) Bravo Kate!

Shirt, vest, skirt, scarf, boots....earrings....so many colours, yet she pulled it all off. They go great together. With the backdrop of the locale. Go Kate!!! :)

Are you sure those boots are not the Penelope Chilvers she wears a lot? I have the exact pair from Penelope Chilvers.

Quite a different look for Kate, but suitable to the occasion. She looks great in the Chitrali hat and jacket. I also love the earrings!

I see most people have this waistcoat down as nubuck,, but I can see a sheen on it in most photos, meaning it would be straight leather. Kate's old one was brown, and definitely leather, and this one seems green in the strong light, don't know if that would affect picture colour. If she has a green leather one I'd have thought she might have ordered it made especially for herself.

I take it back!! The old brown one also looked greenish in the high mountain air in Bhutan, should have checked out first. But definitely leather.

Love the choice of clothes the Duchess has put together. It is appropriate for the days events, she looks great.

The colours of this outfit are unattractive especially when combined, but for same unknown reason Kate makes it work! I could never pull this look off. It just proves she really could wear a burlap sack and still look amazing! Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
