3. These embroideries were named the shepherd’s hook, the little
star, the wether’s horns, the priest’s purse, etc.
The chromatic of the shirts worn in this region is very well
balanced, the dominant colours being black, brown, yellow, purple
and green. Women used to weave their shirts at a loom, using
linseed threads to make shirts meant to be worn at holidays and
hemp threads to make shirts meant to be worn at work.

4. Another important and
significant clothing item is the
peasant skirt (catrinţa, also
called priştoare or pregitoare
in Romanian), made of wool
woven in four threads at the
loom.
The peasant skirt is wrapped
around the waist and held by
means of a girdle (bârneţ).

8. Men’s folk
costume The shirt men in this
region wore, initially made
of linseed but later made
of cotton, is woven in two
threads and it is as long
as to reach the knees. It
has a narrow collar
(ciupag) and large sleeves.

9. The patterns that embelish the shirt are represented by
the stripes (brâie) which can be seen on the collar, on
the front side of the shirt as well as on the lower part
of the sleeves. The colours used to make these patterns
are brown, black or white.
The trousers (iţarii) - sewn in four
threads - were of two kinds: the
summer ones, made of cotton, and
the winter ones, made of wool. In
the winter, men also wore very warm
socks (cioareci) made of wool; they
were very tight because they needed
to fit inside the boots.
