Circassian was the second skin for a man.
In particular, Kabardian is spoken by the Circassian minority.
Since then, the Circassian evolution began in the troops themselves.
The Caucasian Circassian is not just military uniforms or casual functional clothes.
Smaller languages spread in other regions notably include Talysh, Georgian, Armenian,
Assyrian, and Circassian,
Another version says that the Circassian came to the Caucasus from the Middle East.
The main thing is that in Karachay-Balkar the Circassian name is“chepken”, in Kumyk-“chepgen”, and in Nogai-“shepken”.
As a matter of fact, the whole Circassian woman had to emphasize the status of her master.
And among the assortment of Chekmeis of Caucasian merchants, the“Chekmen of the Circassian cut” were especially in use.
A special part of the Circassian, which distinguished it from many other types of caftans,
was the presence of gazyrnyts.
Towards the end of the 19 century,
an entirely winter version of the Circassian appeared- a Circassian trimmed with a black sheepskin.
At the same time, a peculiar evolution of the Circassian took place,
so its oldest examples sometimes reminded the well-known caftan very distantly.

who loved to wear a Circassian.
Putting on a Circassian man stands in solidarity with history a whole region,
a whole layer of the history of the Russian state.
There was a need to regulate its wearing not only by Cossacks,
but also by army soldiers and even officers- the Circassian was so popular.
His Ossetian is depicted in a short Circassian style without a cutout on his chest, and her
sides were pulled together by three pairs of ties.
Thus, it is quite possible to reason that the phrase“Circassian cut” is a direct indication that the chekmen
himself was perceived as common clothing, which may have been borrowed from very ancient times.
According to The Encyclopedia of Arabic Language and Linguistics, in addition to Arabic, the following languages are spoken in the country, in order of the number of speakers: Kurdish, Turkish,

One of the early versions of this hair style wasn't African nor African-American based, but rather popularly worn in the 1860s by
certain sideshow women who were supposedly from Circassian ancestry, known as“Circassan beauties”(also called“Moss-Haired
Girls” for the way they wore their hair).
