The Khevsuris call their national dress talavari. The talavari is made of homespun woollen cloth (“toli”). The cloth for talavari, as a rule, is prepared by women. The toli is a thick, heavy and coarse but hardwearing and durable fabric. In comparison with the classic Georgian ‘Chokha’ it is shorter and features a more powerful colour balance and a greater use of cruciform decorative motifs.
