Abstract

There have been scarce research on national costume of Croatian Catholic population of the region of Kordun. There are no coherent academic, either ethnological or folkloristic, records on that particular part of the material culture of the Kordun heritage. Unfortunately, during the 1991-1995 war (or, it would be better to say, during
several wars) much of this heritage has been irreversibly lost. Very few clothing items have been preserved by museum or private collections. Therefore, people's memories and very few old photographs are the only existing source of information, as well as the
indicator of what the old Kordun costume used to look like and how to reconstruct it.
This is the very reason for me to present the accessible sources, as well as the basic information on this costume in this article; they were the guidelines for my research. I am adding the information on the national costume of Rastoke from the book "Rastoke - na slapovima Slunjčice" (Rastoke - on the Slunjčica Falls) by Toma Žalac, cited in its entirety, to the list of references.
