Pula festive men's dress

The festive male dress of Pula, a town located southwest of Cagliari and known for the nearby archaeological area of Nora, represented in the photographs, was reserved for the festive context. It dates back to the first half of the 20th century and is exhibited at the Costume Museum in (Nuoro).

Starting from the headpiece, the use of the bag cap (berrita) is envisaged, which could be worn with the bag part folded back or on the front. If the construction material in the past was strictly black orbace, this most recent example is packaged with black cloth and dark velvet.

The shirt is made of white canvas and is embellished with embroidery on the high collar, on the cuffs, at the shoulder line and in the central part of the chest.

The bodice, with buttoning on the front, has a front part in wool and velvet cloth with buttonholes embroidered with blue silk threads paired with as many round eyelets whose function was to hang a series of filigree or silver foil buttons.

The belt is made of leather and on the front it has a fully inlaid dust bag or coin purse. It could be worn alone or associated with another belt.

The festive jacket (giancheta) is made of orbace and has a straight cut with lapels and front button placket. It is trimmed on the front with embroidery and applications. This type of jacket replaces the short coat and is worn over the bodice.

Another characteristic element is on cratzoni a roda, the black cloth skirt, wrinkled at the waist and worn over white canvas pants.
