content: "This long-sleeved, red cotton overcoat has a white striped collar called a git. It is sewn onto the garment creating a V-neck effect. Attached to both sides of the upper front are two blue tie-ribbons, goreum, to be tied in a slipknot on the right side, letting part of the ribbons trail downwards. Long gussets added from the armpits to the straight body make an A-line. After the 1884 dress-code reform (Kim, ] 988b:168), the narrow-sleeved durumagi, also known as juui, became part of the formal dress of men, women, and children of upper-class families in the late Choson period (1392-1910). This outerrobe continued to be in fashion until around 1950. Fabric, colors and other features such as lining and padding varied, according to the season, and the age and social status of the wearer (ibid., pp. 169-170).
