DOLMAN.
Made of fine black wool. Fastening straight on the chest, the left side engaging under the right, with seven braids of square cord made of black goat hair; they form seven rows on each front made of four strands of braid joined together, describing parallel and slightly curved lines on the chest. Their ends are finished with a cloverleaf adorned with Milanese pointed olives attached at the base of the cloverleaf to form the frame; each anterior end of the braids on the left side has an eyelet serving as a buttonhole, intended to receive the olive placed at the anterior end of the corresponding braids on the right side.
Straight collar made of base fabric, 5 cm high, bordered with a black goat hair braid, and at the lower part with a black flat braid.
The fronts and lower ends of the dolman are framed with a braid called "soubise-hussar," in goat hair. Two similar braids outline the two vertical seams of the back to the bottom; on these braids, at 15 cm above the bottom, a rosette of the same braid is formed.
Back richly adorned with black soutache forming a decorative trim.
