Openwork vest with a single back panel and two front panels made of lengths of rattan wrapped in rattan skin. Vest has a low neck at front and high inserts of curled rattan at back of neck, with shoulder extensions of loops of rattan. It is formed of parallel vertical lengths of rattan spaced 3 cm. apart with loops of rattan between them.
Such vests were worn as summer undergarments directly against the skin to keep clothing away from the body and help the wearer to feel less hot. They were worn under an upper garment (chogori) of hemp or ramie. They originally were worn only by men, but in the modern period were sometimes worn by old women. They were worn while resting, not while working, and were not worn by the highest class or yangban except in private. They were more commonly worn by ordinary people. Such garments were made by masters specializing in this work.
