More about the Valdres Mans Bunad
This bunad was completed in 1962. It is based on the folk
costumes with cropped jackets which were worn in the middle of the 19th century. The jacket is in black wadmal with velvet
edging, after an old jacket found in Søre Garlid in Nord-Aurdal from about
1860-70.
The trousers (knee breeches or full-length trousers) are in the same
material, and copied after old trousers that belonged to the "Langeleik"-player
Ola Bremo from Sør-Aurdal. White stockings and finger-braided garters are worn with the knee breeches. The waistcoat is in checked material. The shirt can be in linen or cotton. Black bunad shoes are worn.
