Mongolian traditional deel

Mongols are the most powerful nomadic nation. Men and even Women fought along side as some of the best warriors, archers, and horse riders.
These nomadic people were considered so dangerous and disruptive that the Qin Dynasty began construction of the Great Wall to protect China from Mongol attacks.

The Deel or caftan forms the basis of almost all Mongolian clothes. Beside being the main garment, it can serve as a blanket, tent and cover against unwanted glances. Depending on weather or work needs, other garments such as a jacket or a coat can supplement the deel. A deel protects perfectly against cold and winds. When necessary, its long sleeves are rolled down to serve as gloves.

A wide sash, made of several meters of textile, serves as a corset protecting against severe shaking during a fast horse ride. The sash also serves as a belt to which a knife, firestone, cup and other accessories can be attached.

A large pocket formed by the part of the deel above the sash, makes an ideal place for keeping small items.

In the Mongolian nomadic culture special attention is given to the quality of clothes and its tidiness since a missing button, undone seam or loose knot could cost one's life during a sudden snow storm or fast horse ride.
