Traditional customs

Kyrgyz clothes are characterised by many definite features, typical for the clothes of nomadic people. That can be explained by their historical mode of life, related to nomadic cattle breeding. Also very large mark on the character of clothes left the mountain climate with its temperature excursions. This required to have different kinds of warm clothes, sometimes used even in summer time, such us wool robes or sheepskin coats. Very widely were used clothes made of wool burlap, or fells of domestic or wild animals. In 18-19 centuries, the Kyrgyzes made most of their clothes from the fabrics imported from China and other Central Asian Khanates, they also wore imported clothes and footwear. In the north Kyrgyzstan were imported the fabrics from Russia (chintz, calico, muslin, nankeen etc.) Basic type of the clothes and its cut were spread everywhere.

kyrgyzstan's traditional clothes are really beautiful. The customs make people look liek angels. I tried once there customs. It was really beautiful however a bit heavy. To weat the customs, I need to wear 6 inner pieces. Compared to Korean tradiional cusoms, it has 4 more inner clothes. Also the hat, I wore the triangle one, it is quite heavy and big.  I heard these days the customs become more simplify.
