Today it is very convenient to buy men's vyshyvankas wholesale from the maker at the «Vyshyvanochka» online store. This clothing brings out your own style and reminds everyone that you are on trend. Modern shirts embroidered with traditional Ukrainian ornaments differ a little from the old pieces, but their meaning has not changed.

Ancient clothing for men in a new form

A vyshyvanka is an embroidered shirt, long regarded as traditional Slavic dress descended from the Scythians. In ancient history the Slavs were divided into groups, each with its own particularities of dress:

• The cut;
• The patterns and ornaments;
• The way pieces were worn.

In the 19th century our ancestors created a remarkable number of embroidery variants, and local character shows through in each of them. Among all that variety of patterns, three main groups can be picked out — botanical motifs, animals and geometric ornaments. The oldest and at the same time simplest is the geometric ornament, which brings together squares, diamonds, circles, crosses and more.

Time passed, and clothing began to be embroidered with whole scenes carrying religious and mythological motifs. They were replaced in turn by botanical and animal images. Embroidery came to decorate not only shirts and dresses but accessories, headwear and outerwear. Threads of cotton, silk and linen went into fine embroidery, along with beads (for festive looks), coins and metal plates.

Designers today have rebranded the traditional vyshyvanka. They have stylised the schemes of ancient ornaments and in some cases pared them down. Linen shirts for men decorated by machine with acrylic or cotton thread cost considerably less than our own pieces, which are made with heart and by careful hands. That is exactly why the men's vyshyvankas at our online store suit Ukrainian men so well, in any year.

How to care for hand-decorated pieces

If you have decided to give your father, brother, husband or son a modern shirt with protective hand embroidery, you should know how to care for such a piece:

1. Wash by hand only, in warm water. Never add bleach, never boil and never wring the garment. It is worth adding a little ordinary salt to the water;
2. If there are stains, treat them separately with special products, but never apply those to the embroidered part;
3. Dry such pieces flat, on a table or another level surface. If needed, iron the shirt inside out through muslin.

These rules will help you keep the piece looking as it did when new and let it go on protecting its owner from harm.
