Variations of use of the internal space of the mal'tsia. 2019. Courtesy of Denis Kukanov. Explanatory note: Left: the mittens have slits which enable one to release hands for doing something or for ensuring quick thermal regulation inside the garment. Right: if girded, the mal'tsia forms folds and fits closely against the thighs preventing draught effects inside it. Also, girding creates an additional pocket inside the mal'tsia at the belly, etc.
