Hand-Embroidered Lebanese Traditional Costume Set: Sherwal, Vest & Cedar Fez Tarboush

Description

An authentic handmade Lebanese traditional costume for a man, featuring the core elements of the classic folk attire, most famously worn for the national dance, the Dabke. This three-piece set is a vibrant celebration of Lebanese heritage and craftsmanship.

The set includes:

Sherwal (The Trousers): Traditional black baggy trousers, cut full around the hip and thigh, tapering down to a fitted cuff (or a style that appears more fitted in the lower leg in this instance). They feature intricate, stylized gold/silver thread embroidery on the sides, adding a ceremonial or performance quality.

Kubran/Sadderiyeh (The Vest): A tailored, short vest in black with a contrasting, eye-catching red/maroon and gold striped panel down the front. The lapels and hem are bordered with the same rich color, and the shoulders/chest feature ornate, matching gold/silver embroidery. It fastens with a row of decorative buttons.

Tarboush/Fez (The Hat): The quintessential Levantine headdress, a short, cylindrical red velvet fez. The defining feature is the beautiful, detailed gold embroidered Cedar of Lebanon on the front, the powerful national symbol. A black tassel (or gurn) is attached to the crown.

This costume is perfect for cultural performances, folk dance ensembles, theatrical productions, or as an extremely unique and decorative piece of heritage art.
