A deel (Mongolian: ᠳᠡᠪᠡᠯ /дээл [deːɮ]; Buryat: дэгэл [dɛɡɛɮ]) is an item of traditional clothing commonly worn by Mongols and Turkic and Tungusic peoples for centuries,[1] and can be made from cotton, silk, wool, or brocade.
The deel is still commonly worn by both men and women outside major towns, especially by herders.[2] In urban areas, the deel is mostly only worn by elderly people, or on festive occasions. The deel appears similar to a caftan or an old European folded tunic.[2] Deels typically reach to below the wearer's knees and fan out at the bottom. They come in a variety of colors but are most commonly blue, olive, or burgundy.
