If a Lithuanian apologizes too politely - means the apology is fake. Mine evidently wasn't. You can now go in peace!

Here's a video about folk clothing from Lithuania Minor:

It should be pointed out that their traditions didn't disappear with the dissolution of East Prussia - Lithuanians from folk ensembles in Klaipeda's region still wear the local type of clothing rather than just some generic "Lithuanian-like" outfits, sing regional songs. What I mean to say is that there's no movement towards some unified Lithuanian folklore concept.
For comparison, nearby Sudovians:

The question is HOW?? Probably not via East Prussia because neither Lietuvininkai, nor Sudovians have anything like this. Latvia? Evi said they don't have it either - at least not the striped fabrics with so much red and yellow. Independent development then?
BTW my Samogitian grandpa's Scando % has plummeted now that Belarusians were added as an Eastern European reference at 23andme - so, I was right all along: he doesn't have any Scandinavian ancestry, the projects of genome bloggers showed that already ages ago.
On a different note, some from 20th century Aukštaitija (North-East Lithuania):
