In addition to its agricultural productivity,
Haná (or
Hanakia), an ethnic region in central
Moravia, located mainly in the lowlands
of the
Morava River and the
Bečva River, is known for its costumes, traditional
customs, and
Hanakian dialect, still spoken nowadays. The traditional clothes
fully correspond to the character of the region, i.e. are dignified and
attractive. The male attire can give the impression of being too opulent and
boastful, but it's very beautiful, and has the most varied accessories.

The Haná costume is distinguished according to individual
localities, particularly through the color of the trousers -
gate - and the
tunic or the shape of the hat. For example, a Haná native in
Kroměříž,
Holešov
and
Prostějov would have red leather trousers (
bane) tied under the knees with
tassels. The calves from the knees to the ankles are clothed in linen leg
wraps, or
velický. These cover about a third of the boots, which are high, and
shiny with a woollen rosette on top at the front. The Haná waistcoat is green, colorfully embroidered around the holes and
adorned with bright (often silver) buttons.

There is a leather, nicely
embroidered belt, about as wide as a palm, around the body. The
most interesting are the belts made in the vicinity of
Litovel, which were adorned with fine metal strips hammered into them and often
combined with embroidery of very narrow straps of multicolored leather. Typical women’s
folk dresses consist of petticoats, mudflaps, embroidered bodices, embroidered
lace shirts, collar, main trimmed skirt, folk shoes, wreaths, scarves, and
caps.
