Sagum Mania!

[Robert Vermaat]

Five pages and I´m still not wiser on how I should wear my Sagum.

OK, I'll give it a go - mind you I was in a hurry when I read your post so my 5-year old took the pictures and I hastily added some lines to the pictures.

Phase 1: take the right side of the cloth, make sure that the side hangs straight down.
Phase 2: pull the upper corner over your right shoulder and make sure it stays there.
Phase 3: take the opposite corner of your cloth and pull it to your right shoulder, making sure that the edge hangs straight down.
Phase 4: Extend your left arm and pull the cloth back over it until the hand is free, and see to it that the underside of the cloth is now free from /parallel to the floor.
Phase 5: Adjusting - the tricky bit (yes, you were already sure that would come, now weren't you? :wink: ).
You need to make sure that the space for your neck is large enough but not too large (you don't want that enormous gap across your back). You should be able to use the fabric that hangs across your back as a hood.
So, you must adjust the cloth a bit, and that varies from person to person and from fabric to fabric. I've done this for years and it still just won't go automatically. Must be like a tie..
The amount of fabric on your right shoulder must be large enough that the fibula will hold it, but not too large .. anyway you get the picture, I guess.

I hope these blurry pictures and my text will help a bit, if not yell, I can post a bigger version.
