content: "Late 19th century. Red cotton. Each part of these tubular leggings has two strings attached to its diagonally cut upper end. The leggings are worn over a pair of baji (baggy trousers) to reduce bulkiness by tying the trouser legs below the knees and allowing then1 to hang over the socks. Color and size variations are determined by the wearer's age and the color of his outerrobe. Leggings were for full formal dress of upper-class men and young boys (Kim, 1988b: 526). Collected in Seoul. Ref: Hough Korean Catalog p. 447; Bernadou Field Notes 143" [from: "An Ethnography of the Hermit Kingdom: The J.B.
