The tunic hangs straight from the shoulders in front, back is slightly fitted above waist and is flared below the waist by means of triangular gores. There are bands of red and yellow wool, embroidery and rickrack of blue and green at collar, shoulders, neck opening, upper back, cuffs and bottom hem. The bands around the neckline overlap at the bottom. The inner collar is lined with brown, green and tan patterned cotton; the rest is unlined.

History Of Use

Woolen tunics are worn in the summer, fur in the winter. Women's tunics and men's tunics differ little in design. Women's tunics are longer and sometimes collarless, while men's usually have a stand-up collar. Men's tunics are worn belted below the waist, with trousers or leggings. The bold colours of the costume make a person visible against snow at long distances.
