Abstract
Nikolai says that in the past the main clothing for both men and women was the beshmet robe. Married women wore the tsegdeg, whereas single women wore the beshmet. Old people also wore the lavshig robe. People of different ages wore different hats. Men wore the astrakhan hat. There was also another hat that covered the back of the head from the wind. People showed respect to their hats. One could not toss it onto the ground, or step over a hat.
