Tuchuk Garments

Tuchuk Garments

The Wagon People have their own style of clothing apart from the rest of Gor. The Men of the Wagons normally wear breeches, boots, and jerkins of leather. A quilted vest lined in fur is worn over the jerkin, belted in place by the five buckled belt common to the Wagon People. A leather scarf is worn to protect the face from wind and dust while riding.



Freewomen do not wear the veils of the city women. They wear long dresses split up the side to allow for easy riding. Leathers are sometimes worn made from the skin of the bosk. The Freewoman's hair is braided at all times.



kajirae of the Wagons are forbidden to bind their hair in the manner of a Freewoman. However, she may tie it back with a strip of red cloth which is known as the Koora. A kajira wears three articles of clothing. A curla, or red cord is tied around her waist. A long, narrow strip of leather, known as the Chatka, is held in place by the Curla. It passes underneath the cord, between her thighs, and up over the cord in back, with the long ends hanging free. She also wears a short, open vest of black leather, the Kalmak.



A slave may be stripped of all garments by her Master/Mistress at any time. This is usually done when the slave gives reason for mistrust. The lack of garments making it impossible to hide a weapon on her person. She may also be belled at wrists and ankles so that her movements can be easily heard.



The kajiri, or male slaves, wear a sleeveless jerkin of black leather called the Kes.



All Tuchuk females, slave or free, wear a delicate, thin gold ring in their nose. The ring adds greatly to the beauty of the Tuchuk female.



In the winter the wagon people wear clothing designed to protect them from the bitter cold of the plains. Trousers made of bosk hide, fur-lined boots, heavy coats and headgear with ear protection bound beneath the chin by a thin strap. Slaves sometimes wear their turian collars on the outsides of their coats, beneath the fur-lined collar. This is not always the case since the kajira is never mistaken for a freewoman due to her unbound hair. Kajiri are shackled at the ankles as proof of their status.
