The traditional shroud of Jeju-do not only maintains a unique costume pattern different from that of the land, but its manufacturing technology is valuable in terms of historical, academic, and functional aspects of traditional clothing. It is well worth acquiring, preserving, and transmitting the traditional Jeju shroud in its original form. Therefore, this study examines the typical Jeju-do traditional shroud. The results of examining the types and characteristics of Jeju traditional shroud through literature research, interviews, and empirical research methods are as follows. The traditional men’s shroud in Jeju is an undershirt, red ginseng, and jeogori over the top, and underpants, pants, strings, and gaiters as the bottom, and a durumagi and dopo as outerwear. The components of the simplified shroud also include a durumagi and an applicator. In some cases, the durumagi, usually made in one piece and worn inside the application, is also called ‘furime,’ a Jeju dialect meaning durumagi. The traditional women’s shroud in Jeju is briefs, underpants, unlined skirt, lined skirt, under jeoksam, unlined jeogori, lined jeogori for the top, and Jang as the outerwear. The original form of the Jeju-style Jangot can be found in the Durumagi in terms of the length, collar shape, and side part, and there are narrow sleeves and wide sleeves. A cloth used to cover the face is called a black hosang in Jeju. The men’s black hosang are all angled except for the crown, decorated with status symbols on the back and a face covering on the front. The black hosang worn by women made a three-dimensional shape with a wrinkled crown and a round plate attached to the top, and a face covering was attached to the center of the front slit. The change of the funeral system has made the change of traditional shroud inevitable, but it is still necessary to understand and preserve the tradition of a traditional shroud, and it is judged that reasonable measures suitable for modern cremation culture should be sought.
