Description
A man's jacket, a 'mintan zetovski', part of wedding attire. A plum-coloured, hip-length garment with an additional, inner panel stitched to the right front (as worn); short, stand-up collar and long sleeves set in at right angles. Back panel is made from coarser, home-produced wool woven cloth. The front panels and sleeves are made from a finer, commercially made wool woven cloth, lined with natural cream tabby cotton cloth. At the jacket edges, neckline and sleeve ends, is a printed (red and pink on cream ground) cotton cloth of carnations and fern-like foliage. All seams reinforced and emphasised with couched black wool braiding of different widths. Red and gold-coloured metal-wrapped braiding used in addition at centre front panels, inserted front panel, and lower sleeves. Inner panel is curved at the top, with a metal hook and eye to fasten it to left side of neck. Thirteen pairs of brass 'gunshot' buttons with braided loops at sleeve ends and two pairs fasten front of jacket.
