Another sleeveless jacket is worn, again, over the gunj, called the "jelek," and is a mass of heavy gold and silk embroidery, quite stiff in fact, and a marvel of beautiful tracing and patterns.
This latter is merely modern dandyism; the still invariably worn "dokoljenice" are white gaiters, fastened at the back with hooks and eyes, which reach to the "opanki" shoes made of a flat leather sole, bound over with a thick network of whipcord. Then there are green gunj and even dark blue. The peasant wears usually a coarse white serge gunj for every day and an ordinary shirt.
The costume consists of a "džamadan," a red waistcoat, embroidered with gold or black silk the former on gala occasions over which the "gunj" is worn, a long, white or very pale blue coat, cut so that the breast is left open and free.
The hair is worn, in the case of the married women, in a heavy crown-like plait. A white, slightly embroidered bodice, silver girdle, and silk skirt, over which is worn a similar open coat to the gunj. And again over this comes the "ječerma," a jacket of red, blue, or violet velvet, according to the age of the woman. The effect in both men and women is tasteful and picturesque in the extreme.
