Abstract
When the Jews were expelled from Spain in 1492, many of them crossed the straits of Gibraltar to live under the protection of the Sultan of Morocco, whose court, at the time, was in Fez. The existing North African Jewish population —of Arabic and Berber language and culture— increased by the arrival of the Sephardic Jews who kept Spanish as their conversational language as well as many customs originating in the Iberian peninsular. The clothing of this group had a particular character due partly to its development from Hispanic roots before the expulsion and partly to its gradual evolution amidst the surrounding Arabic influence and the strict Muslim laws compelling the men to always dress in black.

Summary
A esos sefardíes dedicaremos estas líneas sobre la indumentaria que portaban estos judíos cuando los españoles del periodo isabelino desembarcaron en África allá por el año 1859, vestimenta cuyo germen acaso estaba ya en el atuendo que los expulsados sacaron de España.
