Camisoles in the Traditional Male Costume of the Bukharan Jews (Part of the History of Clothes Cut from Patterns in Western Central Asia)

T.G. Emelyanenko.

This article discusses the history of the emergence and functioning of camisoles as a part of the traditional costume of the Bukharan Jews. The comparison of variants of camisoles from the photographs of the late 19th–early 20th century as well as museum objects (not described in the literature) with the camisoles of the Tajiks and the sedentary Uzbeks (Sarts) reveals several differences in cut, nature of the fabric, manner of wearing, and other details. All these point to the original emergence of this type of clothing.

Keywords: Western Central Asian costume, Western Asian traditions in traditional clothing, Bukharan Jews.
