Thread for Hungarian folk costumes

[Onur]

I think Hungarian folk clothing is one of the best in the world, especially the embroiders.

Post some examples Szegedist.

Palóc from Kazár











By the way Onur, speaking of the Palóc, you might find this interesting:
The Palóc are a subgroup of Hungarians in Northern Hungary and southern Slovakia. While the Palóc have retained distinctive traditions, including a very apparent dialect of Hungarian, the Palóc are also ethnic Hungarians by general consensus. Although their origins are unclear, the Palóc seem to be the descendants of the Khazar, Kabar, Pechenegs and Cuman tribes.

The Cumans were called Polovtsy in Slav sources. The Palóc word originates from the Slav Polovets. Although similar to the Hungarians in origins and culture, they were considered distinct groups by the Turks. The first written record of the word "palóc" as the name of a people appears in the Mezőkövesd register in 1784.

ezek a képek gyakran nem éppen szép nőkkel készülnek. sok húsos végtagokkal (és nem ott azokon a részeken ahol kellene) sok a trampli (a trampli régies kifejezés: alacsony nőkre utal akiknek vastagok a végtagjai)

Please, that Gypsy with moustache in Hungarian folk costume is not Hungarian! Palócföld, North Hungary is full of Gypsies, many of them mix with us. This is not Turanid surley, as the Mongolid women have typically least hair all of the world. They have androgenic hair only on the genitals, and there are just very few.


All these folk costumes are very similar to the South-German, Slavic and Balkanic folks costumes. These havn't got any special Hungarian quality. These have been created at the 19s. The Dolmány and Mente, the parts of the Hungarian Hussar costume are Ottoman originated. The most archaic clothes have the Szeklers. But their old, nowadays extincted two-pieced trousers were the descendant of the medieval two-pieced hose.

It is a one-piece Szekler-trousers, originally the shirt was longer and it covered the two-piece trousers:



Medieval Hose, the Szeklers' trousers were the very same in the 19th:

So Géza, Hungarian folk costumes, embroidery, etc was just invented in the 19th century, copied from neigbours?
