Attire of Silletero de Antioquia

Traditional attire used by the Silleteros of Antioquia, who were men that carried tradable goods and other commerce on their back tied to a chair, they would walk I on foot through the mountains and valley of Antioquia, making their clothing meet certain standards for the dangerous travels.

Among this clothing, pieces like the straw hat and kerchief help with the sun during their journey, the long sleeve cotton shirts had the same use, while helping with mosquito bites on the arms, and a Bordon (walking stick) for the treacherous andean routes. Other pieces like Ruana de Soson and black pants were typical but could be changed for different colors and materials.
