Po is a general term that describes an outer robe or overcoat in Korean traditional clothing.
Description[edit]
There are two general types of po, the Korean type and the Chinese type.[1]
The Korean type is a common style from the Three Kingdoms of Korea period, and it is used in modern day.[2][1] A belt was used until it was replaced by a ribbon during late Joseon dynasty. Durumagi is a variety of po that was worn as protection against cold. It had been widely worn as an outer robe over jeogori and baji. It is also called jumagui, juchaui, or juui.[3][2][4]
The Chinese type is different styles of po from China. Starting from North-South states period, they were used through history until nation-wide adoption of the Korean type durumagi in 1895.[1]
