The entire wardrobe was divided into two parts: for everyday wear and a military uniform.

Shirt

One of the important elements of the wardrobe is a pectoral shirt, which was sewn from white linen. Distinctive features of the upper shirt were patterns on the collar.

Beshmet

A special caftan was put on top of it - a beshmet of various colors (long or shortened). Without it, it is also impossible to imagine a full-fledged image of a Cossack. Beshmet was belted with a belt on which the weapon was placed.

Trousers

Depending on the military rank, the corresponding color was used for tailoring the trousers: blue, red.

Given the weather conditions, a suitable fabric was chosen. For the summer, thinner was used, for colds - dense and warm.

An obligatory detail is a strap (draftsman), with the help of which pants are belted at the waist.
