Costume Men’s
Occasion Festive The most common men's costume in Metsovo today. Over the shirt and the double-breasted tsamantamou goes the dimita, a dark garment open at the chest, closed at the waist and very full below. White woollen hose, tsarouchia, a round black cap and a shepherd's crook complete it.
