EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the enchanting region of Brittany, France, circa 1910s, as we admire this photograph of two local men proudly wearing their traditional Breton costumes. The extraordinary fashion of this northern French region is showcased in all its glory, with the men donning a unique blend of pleated leggings, wide trousers, and bloomers, all intricately designed with vertical stripes. The man on the left wears a traditional Breton BRAS, a short jacket with long sleeves and a high collar, often worn over a shirt. His outfit is completed with a wide-brimmed hat, known as a BRAGOU, which was once a symbol of wealth and status in rural Brittany. The man on the right is wearing a traditional PORZAY or PLONEZ, a long, pleated skirt that was once worn by men and women alike. He pairs it with a simple, long-sleeved shirt and a flat-topped hat. These traditional costumes, which were once an integral part of daily life in Brittany, have now become a cherished symbol of the region's rich cultural heritage. The intricate pleats, vertical stripes, and unique legwear are a testament to the region's distinct fashion history. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when traditional costumes were an essential part of everyday life in Brittany, France.
