TSOLIA Traditional Boys Greek Costume (Evzone)
The uniform is a traditional representation of Greece’s historic mountain guerrillas, the Klephts (thieves) and armatoles (bandits), which resisted the Turkish occupation and fought hard in the War of Independence. The skirt/kilt is called a ‘fustanella’ in Greek. There are 400 pleats in it; one for each year of the Turkish occupation. The Evzones have professional steam irons in the barracks and they have to iron them themselves. The uniforms are made by special craftsman in workshops within the barracks and take 80 days to make. Officers wear an older more elaborate form of the uniform and since the Second World War, Evzones from Crete wear blue breeches and caps with white boots.
