Ensemble

1900–1910

Not on view

Although lacking its accompanying accessories, it is notable to have both parts of a man's regional costume. It is important to note that while this object is identified as being from Yugoslavia, that entity did not exist until after World War I--first as the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, then, after 1929, as Yugoslavia (“land of south Slavs"). The shirt and accompanying pants were given to the collection in 1932 by Mr. Henry F. DuPont, who had an important folk costume collection, when the countries in that Balkan region were known under that name.
