DescriptionPart of a Dolní Bojanovice wedding kroj consisting of a shirt, vest, pants, belt, necktie, musla, handkerchief, and hat. The shirt is white and has intricate cut work and white on white embroidery covering the entirity of each sleeve. Long, white ties are at the shirt's throat. The vest is red and covered with multi-colored beading and sequins. The wool pants are red in color and lined with white cotton. Its front and thighs are covered with elaborate embroidery and navy cording. The leather belt is tan in color, has a silber buckle, and is decorated with brass studs. The red necktie has long red fringe on each end. Evenly spaced embroidered floral clusters are stitched over the length of the tie. The clusters are in metallic, blue, green, orange, and purple threading. An element called a musla is worn at the groom's shoulder. It is made up of two hand-painted ribbons that are affixed to accordioned cardboard. Two tails hang down from the fan-shaped cardboard. One ribbon is white and the other light blue. Both are painted with floral designs in pink and dark pink, white, and green. Gold-colored sequins are scattered throughout the ribbons. The kroj's accompanying handkerchief is white with a wide band of cut work on around all four sides. The cut work is finished with white threading. Finally, the kroj is finished with a round black felt hat with no brim. Its sides are decorated with a hot pink, dark green, white, and red fuzzy fabric that is similar to pipe cleaners only much larger around and softer. Metallic beads are attached to the hat's right side, along with red, blue, green, gold, white, and orange long metal and plastic decorations. A tall floral element covered with mirrors and beads is affixed to its front.
