Estonia - Folk Costumes 2002


2002 Folk Costumes of Kolga-Jaani & Suure-Jaani (Central Estonia)

On the two new postage stamps of the Estonian Folk Costumes series, the Central Estonian people wearing the folk costumes of Suure-Jaani and Kolga-Jaani parishes are depicted. In the middle of the 19th century, new modern folk costumes became popular in the Viljandi parish. In the patterns of shirts, waists, coifs, stockings, and mittens old elements can be seen, but suits for men with the tunics, breeches, often with waistcoats, and the tight waist-lined jerseys for women have been modeled after the city fashion.
On the postage stamp of Kolga-Jaani folk costumes there is a maiden and a married woman, but on the postage of Suure-Jaani folk costumes a boy and a girl are depicted in the folk costumes of middle 19th century.
