The silver buttons (very typical for this area ) on the man`s belt has become very popular this days The name : Zeeuwse knoop. They are now use/made in several materials for jewels but even for a form/mould for pudding and cakes and candies
So, I'm curious, is there a difference in the men's clothing or hats as to being a bachelor or a married man?
So nice of you to show us the traditional wear for the male.
Had to view this large to get a better look at those fabulous buckles. ; ) They are quite intricate, but lovely. Look kind of heavy to wear though.
Wonderful images of the Zeeuws !
@bruni The clothing of the men let alone see the difference in faith or which part of the province they come.
If a farmer his handkerchief out of his pocket long left hang this meant that he was single.
A Catholic farmer has Baker Pant buttons and a fluffy hat, a Protestant farmer has flatter openwork Pant buttons, also at the rear and a somewhat flatter hat.
A farmer of Walcheren has a wool pants with four silver Pant buttons, and if he visser was a pet instead of a hat.
