The coat is now worn by Alexandru at various events and when he has tourists at the museum. Everyone admires him, especially since he's a real jerk.
The young man from Arad says that this branch is the most important legacy.
“It is a festive outfit from the Podgoria Aradului area, Covăsânt town. In winter, men wore trousers on the leg, slightly puffed at the top, a shirt, breastplate or breastplate and a white coat, decorated on the sleeves and pockets with red, orange and black embroidery. They covered their heads with astrakhan hats“, says Alexandru.

We also learn that in Covăsânt, the skirt was designed and worked by a woman, known in the community as Bănoie.
Alexandru also posted a photo on the social networking site Facebook in which he says that he and his great-grandfather have this clothing in common:
“Shuba, the most beautiful heritage. Conceived and crafted by Bănoaie, the coat was received as a gift in 1945 by my great-grandfather (Herlo Ioan) from Herlo's great-grandmother Iosana (born Bogari). It was offered to him because his son-in-law came from the village of Chereluş and to be “in line” with the people of Covasan”.
According to DEX chuba – wide and long coat with a large collar, lined with fur and worn mostly by men.
