What was the outerwear of the Uzbek women in Tashkent and the Fergana Valley?

The shoulder garments of Uzbek women in the Fergana Valley and Tashkent were robes (peshvon, mursak, ton, chopon), and later, in the early 20th century, they included a beshbel, a jacket and a vest.

Chopon or ton were a quilted cotton robe straight cut with long sleeves, which women wore at any time of the year. The stitch was sparse, and some winter robes had big, criss-cross stitches that formed a square shape.

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.
