  1. Pls don’t wear it to a Bears game. You’ll summon ICE and take me and you both

  2. At the risk of being *that* guy do we know these are hand made and not factory stuff?

  3. Beautiful artisanry.

    I’d like to take the opportunity to teach anyone who is curious a bit more about that traditional Mexican garment

    That’s actually not a Sarape (zarape), a sarape is just the traditional rectangular woven blanket that people would also sometimes use as a sort of cloak or shawl.

    However, if it has an opening in the middle for your head so you can wear it like a poncho, then the correct term is jorongo or gaban. There is a difference between those two, but usually people use them interchangeably. Jorongos (like that bears one) are shorter about thigh length. While a gaban was traditionally a bit more formal and longer, less colorful.

    The distinction is Sarape=blanket and Jorongo=garment
