Description
The Mongolian traditional deel is one of the simplest and most distinctive cultural features of the Mongol people. This and other forms of national clothing are well designed for the demanding Mongolian climate and environment and the unique nomadic ways of life, social values, and customs that the Mongolian people have followed for centuries.
According to archeological findings from Mongolia, the 13th century was a rising action of Mongolian traditional deel.
This Mongolian shirt with a circular front placket, also known as “Hunnu” placket, and thin cuff with many cotton buttons was actually designed for horsemen at that time. To bow an archery, they needed to fold the cuffs to prevent misdirection and have an easily-opening top center.

I requested for XXXL (not in the size option) and when the shirt arrived… the fit in the chest, waist and sleeve length were so exact I felt it was tailor made! Credits to Telman for ensuring both of my shirts are a perfect fit. The mottled auburn fabric on the diagonal lapels and tall cuffs was unique. This shirt doesn’t need dry cleaning or ironing, it is water washable and wrinkle-free. Tried and tested. 🙂
