Some Example |
|
Taylasān
|
|
This clothing article served as a long veil that covered the entire body, however
it lacked any kinds of sleeves as well as stichings. The
Taylasan was made to be mainly used by scholars, however in later years it was specifically
to be worn by clergymen. Taylasan, drawing it's name from Talesch and Taleschan,
was the traditional clothing of the people of Talesch, a cold and mountainous region
in the
province of Ghilān
, in
Persia
. Later this clothing article was adopted by the Arabs,
in the Western part op
Persia
, since they stated that " the Prophet of Islam wore
a Taylasan aswell". It is
known that the Persian
culture has made great use of this clothing item, at least throughout the Sassanian
dynasty and even in the Southeren parts of
Persia
. Since the
Taylasan was used as a high class clothing article it was not only limited to be
used by men. Eventhough the navy colored Taylasan was most popular among women,
it could also be aquired in black, blue, green, white, and yellow colors. The black
color was exclusively for the clergymen. Their garment was to be long and made of
silk from Bam, a city near Kerman of Persia, and was regularely accessorized with
decorative margins. The young templars who had not yet reached the more advanced
stages would not wear their Taylasan, but carry it folded on their shoulder. A number
of Abbasid caliphs, Saffarids Rulers, Samanid and Buyid ministers, aswell as Ghaznavid
teachers and historians ( 3rd and 4th centuries), and specially
judges made use of the Taylasan. Sufies believed that the Taylasan was to be put
on solely by their authorized elders. Furthermore the Taylasan producing cities
of Persia are cities near as well as around
Qumis and Abeskon, near today's Gorgān; Surra, near Kashan; Tabarestan, today’s
Mazandaran; Rayy, South of Tehran; and Bam, near Kerman. Manuscript miniatures of
Al-Bulhan, Al-Hariri’s Maqāmāt, Moukhtar al-Hikam are where one can find the most
outstanding images of a Tylasan.(1)

Kandys
|
|
This ankle long garment is to be open in the front and, as noticed has fairly long
and unusually tight sleeves, thus was generally not worn, but carried on the shoulders.
Needed to be said is, that it is believed that the only time the Kandys was put
on completely, (putting of the arms completely into the sleeves), was by nobels
attending the king's parade. Connected at the end of the long and tight sleeves
are oval shaped pieces of fabric, that if in cold weathers the Kandys was to be
worn this would protect the back of the hand as well as the fingers from the cold
weather. On the back of the shoulders one can notice a triangular section of fabric
that is believed to have had the purpose of a head cover. The Kandys was used in
the cold tempered areas of
Persia
, and the first to make use of this clothing item
were the Medes, the first Aryan governments. The edges of the open front of the
Kandys, consisted of fur margins, infact at times the entire garment was made of
fur or other extra sturdy materials. The word Kandys originates from the Persian
language. In order to find the origins of the word one needs to look up the word
Kan-Su-Ka, in Elamit; Kandu-Kantu, in Old Persian and Kanzu-Ka,
in Media, however the root of all these words is
Kan
, which means;
to wear or to put on. The most primitive source, that has spoken of the Kandys is
of Xenophon, a Greek historian who lived in Persian, among the Achaemenid court.
He has spoken of the Kandys in his two works: Anābasis and Cyropaedia. The Kandys
was mainly worn by Achaemenid
as well as Media kings and nobels such as the Achaemenid
Cyrus(Kourosh), who enjoyed wearing the Kandys in a purple hue, or may be Darius
III
who could have had his Kandys decorated with golden
eagle designs. Some number of the Persian governers in Small Asia, today's
Turkey
, also wore the Kandys, such as Autophradat.(1)
