Outwear gown chopon – a necessary attribute of ordinary Tashkent and Ferghana residents

Ordinary people necessarily had outwear gown chopon which was made of simple alacha with fine stripes and instead of jiyak collar decorated with colorful embroidery.

 In hot weather, “for protecting from the heat, they wrap around their heads by turbans and wear 3 to 4 quilted robes”, Nazarov wrote about Kokand clothes.

You will find more examples of national Uzbek clothes in the book-album "Traditional Uzbek costume on materials of museum and private collections of Uzbekistan (Part 1)" (volume XLVIII) from the series "Cultural legacy of Uzbekistan in the world collections."

The general sponsor of the project is the oilfield services company Eriell-Group.
