  • Shoe buckles, a bunad knife and watch with a watch chain complete the bunad

The men's bunad from Sogn came into use in the early 1900s. It is based on bunad material from the first part of the 19th century. Today's bunad is called "Steglatrøya", and is made of white fulled woolen cloth with black velvet edges. The picture shows the reconstructed Sognebunad in red. Breeches are used for both models.
