The clothes worn by Pontians in the past all depended on the area that they lived in. To understand this you must look at the Geography of the Pontos region. Like Greece Pontos (which is a bigger area) not only changes it s costume from state to state, but in many cases from village to village (same as traditions and habits).The biggest mistake made by Greek Pontian Costume makers today is that they try to represent a country with one costume.
