Jordan's Winter Customs and Traditions (part 1)
alfarwah (a kind of winter clothing resembling a coat)
Jordan's weather
is very cold in winter, when it's winter time, people start looking for
everything that makes them feel warm, and fur has always been a heritage choice
for people in the past, especially on colder days.
The ancestors
were holding (alfarwah) in the harsh cold to protect them from winter, and
despite the variety of winter clothes and their special and modern
specifications, (alfarwah) still maintains its place in the cold, and hardly any
house is devoid of its existence because of its great importance and it is a
popular heritage and was considered as an indicator of the richness of its own
and the place of this person among the people.
It is a long
cloak-like robe that coats the whole body, and consists of an inner layer and
an outer layer, the outer layer made of heavy cloth or leather and the inner
layer was made of natural sheep wool (It is one of the most expensive species,
but the type made of natural wool has become rarely made) and nowadays the
inner layer is made of synthetic fur.
With the entry
of winter spread (alfarwah) on the roads and displayed in the markets, as well
as you find them with street vendors, and offered for sale on social networking
sites, each of which has a different type and price from the other, as the
price ranges between precious and cheap according to the type of skin itself
and cloth and wool, as the length (alfarwah) itself determines the price there
long and there short.
In the past (
alfarwah) was dedicated to men only, but in recent years there have been
designs suitable for women and children and made in different colors and
designs to suit all tastes.
.The term alfarwah is taken from the word fur in Arabic
