subject: The Traditional Cloth Of Britain [print this page] Every country has its own traditional cloth which shows the custom, cultural and so on. It seems that many traditional clothes have their own characteristics, so does the Britain traditional cloth.
The first Britain traditional cloth is cap, the most outstanding of what is English gentlemans bowler hat. Bowler hat is a kind of hard tire dome fedora and usually is black. In tradition, important people of Britain and distinguished personages should wear this hat. Once B.H is mentioned in literary and artistic works, readers will think of an English gentleman. Nowadays, this kind of bowler hat is few in cities, while not disappeared.
The second traditional cloth is Kilt of Scotland, which is skirt for man, from waist to knee and made by spend tartan material. The kilt is formed in mid-century. In todays daily life, Scotland men dont wear it, however in important occasion such as traditional festival; men will wear it to celebrate.
The next traditional cloth is various traditional working apparel accessories, such as black robe and wig judge wear on court, robe pastor wear on religious service in church, the white long dress and royal crown queen wear on congress meeting, the colorful courtepy, yellow corset and black leather hat which palace bodyguard wear, the black hat and black cloth London tower guard wear, the black cloth, white breeches and black thigh boot which knight protector wear.
Though Britain is a country with abundant popular legend and tradition country, it didnt have certain national traditional cloth. The most famous England traditional cloth is cloth which people wear during dancing Morris. Nowadays, when there is folk dance in summer, we still can see those clothes. Men wear the typical traditional cloth: white shirt, white pants, a hat made by felt or wheat straw hood and decorated with ribbon and flower. These clothes have an abundant change, different area has different changes. The traditional Morris always regard as a ceremony which has a mysterious meaning with the origin of earth. In past, performers are all men, while there are women in nowadays.
In today, with the changing of modern clothes, the traditional clothes have forgotten by many countries. In my opinion, traditional clothes are symbol of Historical Precipitation, represent the custom, cultural and so on, so we shouldnt forget and abandon them.
