The men's bunads from Gudbrandsdalen are made in several versions. The bunads that went into production in 1962 have three variations of jackets. A black or white half-length coat and a black shorter coat. A detailed reconstruction from the early 1800s exists as well. There are also two types of vests, single-breasted (one row of buttons) and double-breasted (two rows of buttons). Both short and long trousers are worn with the bunad.
