This is a reproduction of the shorter baeja worn by women in the late Joseon period. Thick crimson silk is used for the outer shell lined with lighter blue silk to make a strong contrast of colors. The edges of the collar, armholes, and hem are detailed with thin lines, making for a striking harmony with the background color. This is for embellishment rather than insulation against the cold.
