Men’s embroidered clothing – rare exhibits from Ukrainian museum and private collections

Traditional male garments from the 19th – early 20th century seldom get to museum exhibitions because they are too worn and can’t be preserved in good enough condition. Also, men had fewer clothing articles than women – 100 years ago or today, it’s all the same! So these costumes are that much more valuable. Welcome here to view several beautiful men’s handmade and hand-embellished outfits from Ternopil region of Ukraine.

These clothing pieces were exhibited in Viktor Yushchenko Museum of Ukrainian heritage (situated in Kyiv outlet village “Manufactura”) and Reshetylivka Museum (Poltava region of Ukraine)
