Greek Foustanelles - (right) - the Makedonomahi, which is from [[Macedonia]], the northern most region of [[Greece]]. This costume is also known as the [[Pavlos Melas]]. Pavlos Melas was a general from Athens who fought for the freedom of Macedonia, against the Ottoman Empire. This costume is similar to the Tsolia, which is worn by the modern day soldiers, the Evzones(Εύζωνες). (left) - The Foustanella (Tsolias). It was established by [[King Otto|Otto]], the first King of Greece, as the formal court dress in the middle of the 19th century, prevailed in the urban centers of Moreas (Peloponnese) and Roumeli (Central Greece). This dress was originally the military outfit of the Greek chieftains. The waistcoat is called the “fermeli” and has panels hanging from the back. The men wear a white shirt with puffy sleeves under the fermeli that closes in front. The “foustanella” is the pleated skirt that is made of approximately 350 pleates called “langolia.” The Foustanela has changed in the meaning of detailed work, the length of the “fousta”, and, sometimes, the number of jackets worn. The sleeves have become decorative, resembling wings without the function of sleeves. After all the changes, it has become the standard Pan-Hellenic male costume worn today.
