Short and camperos costumes for fairs and pilgrimages

The Short Suit: History, Elegance and Tradition

The short suit , also known as the country suit or Cordoban suit , is a traditional Spanish garment that combines functionality and style. This attire, with roots in the equestrian world, is a must-have at fairs such as the Feria de Abril or the Jerez Horse Fair. Designed for both men and women, its versatility makes it an ideal choice for pilgrimages, working equitation competitions, and traditional events.

Characteristics of the Cordoban Suit

The short suit stands out for its close-fitting design and classic colors. These are the key pieces:

• Marseilles jacket : Light, elegant and fitted at the waist.

• Cowboy trousers : Straight cut and finished at mid-calf, perfect for horse riding.

• Flamenco sash : A vibrant touch that adds color to the outfit.

• Campera shirt : Buttoned up to the neck, usually in light colors.

• Cordoba hat : With a wide brim, an essential accessory.

Origins of the Country Suit

The Cordoban suit has over three centuries of history. Its original design was intended for rural tasks such as cattle drives and livestock fairs. Dark colors predominated in winter, while light tones like white or ecru were reserved for summer. Today, this suit has evolved into more modern styles without losing its traditional essence.

• Traditional fairs such as the April Fair or the Horse Fair.
