The Jino women wear a chicken-heart-shaped embroidered vest, covered by a collarless coat with blue, red, yellow and white lattices and with buttons down the front. For the lower part, they wear a red cloth purfled short skirt, and blue or black leggings. On the head is a manteau-like peaked hat reaching the shoulders. Such a hat looks very unique, something like the peaked hat on the wind coat in modern metropolises. It is made by a folio cloth about 60 cm in length and 23 cm in width, which is sewed at one side. Wearers usually fold the brim of the hat upwards to form a margin about one finger wide.
