The Magnificent Traditional Clothes of Golestan Province

SAEDNEWS: Golestan is located in the northeast of Iran that is restricted to Semnan province from the south, to North Khorasan province from the east, to Turkmenistan country from the north and to Mazandaran province from the west.

Its neighborhood with some regions of different cultural roots has led to a chiefly heterogeneous ethnic composition in this province most of whom are Fars, Turk (Azerbaijan and Qizilbash) Turkman nomads, Baluch, Sistani and Mazani; each has its own special clothing along with unique rituals and beliefs.

We want to introduce the main clothing of Turkman people here. The material used for sewing Tukman cloths are silk and cotton among which the silk is more popular. The main point in this clothing is the use of different kinds of local handicrafts in making it. Turkman women wear a long dress named Kevink that is produced in different colors and a cloak named Chaod over it that is in fact a long coat highly decorated in coin embroidery.

The dominant color of Chaod is dark green, blue carbon and red. A big scarf is used by Turkman women that is named Charghad (kerchief). It also is popular among Iranian women of other regions. Here the type of feminine headdress is indicator of her marital statue. The married women wear a round hat named Alang under their kerchief.
