This specific piece is worn by men on very special occasions, like their wedding, and contains highly detailed embroidery work of a master artist.

This is a new piece of clothing made by ladies of the animistic Hmong tribe in Northern Thailand. It comes straight from the source: with buying this product you directly support the Hmong tribe.
