Turkish Traditional dress


The Turks made use of a wide variety of materials to create their costumes. They were very particular about their clothing and were fond of using exquisite materials.
Cotton and woolen fabric would be specially woven on handlooms and they would import fine quality silk from China.A special kind of head covering was also worn by the Turks. Made out of sheepskin or fur the head covering known as Bashlyks was meant to offer protection against cold. They were also considered to be symbols of high status amongst the locals.
