Sejodae, Fine Waistband

Sejodae, a band made by plaiting threads, is finer and narrower than gwangdahoe. This band was finished by attaching to its end a strawberry-shaped tassel, called ddalgisul, or a bar-shaped tassel, called bongsul, and was worn on outer robes. The color of the band differed according to the wearer’s rank; red was worn by first- to third-rank officials, and blue by fourth- to ninth-rank officials. It was worn by Hwang Cheol (黃鐵, 1864-1930).
