Description Of Victorian Costumes?

What is the most remarkable thing in the traditional Turkish men's costumes?

• Please give a description or send a link to a photo. Do you know where to buy Turkish costumes in Canada?

• Answer:

  Well there are a myriad of different clothing styles all peculiar to their regions of origin, but except rural communities they are not worn anymore since the adoption of European style dress in 1925 during the early days of the republic (by law the use of traditional/religious dress is restricted. http://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C4%B1yafet_devrimi). The occasions to come across contemporary examples of traditional dress are limited to folkloric gatherings and dance performances in an average Turkish city. That being said there are some very interesting costumes from the Ottoman eras. One that I find interesting is the dresses worn by the bandit turned patriots of the War of Independence some of whom had served with my forefathers. It is the non-uniform dress of paramilitaries of Western Turkey, namely Aegean Region I am from. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeybek http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Efe_%28leaders_of_Turkish_outlaws_and_soldiers%29 Images: http://images.google.com.tr/images?hl=tr&client=firefox-a&hs=NaE&rls=org.mozilla:tr:official&q=Efe+k%C4%B1yafeti&oq=&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=JgiLS6Mnx8TiBsnNlbUP&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CBsQsAQwAA I most certainly did not search for costumes during my brief visit to Montreal but I can check for some UK providers, I know a place or two in Newcastle but I don't think they'll bother with shipping and all. Following is one costume supplier from Turkey and a shabby one at that I must add, simply to provide a comparison. http://www.kostumevi.com/tarihi.htm Though if you'd settle for something like a padişah dress or yeniçeri dress, they've gotta be easier to find but are more pompous and thus expensive. I can edit the answer if I so.
