Jikryeong (Korean: 직령; Hanja: 直領; RR: jingnyeong; lit. Straight collar), sometimes written as jikryung[1] or jingnyeong and also known as jikryeongpo (직령포; 直領袍; jingnyeongpo), is a type of po with a straight neckline.[2][3] It could be worn as an outwear by men and was sometimes worn under the danryeong.[2] The jikryeong was worn in ordinary times[4] and was worn all year round.[2] It was also worn as a mourning attire[2] during the Joseon period.[3] Following the Japanese invasion (1592–1598), its usage as an outerwear decreased and was more often used as an undergarment.[2] After the latter half of the 17th century, the jikryeong was turned into an inner lining for the danryeong, thus turning to a single lined garment.[2]
Design and construction[edit]
The collar of the jikryeong as its name indicate is straight collar, closing to the right side.[2] It may also come with rectangular side panels (무, moo) on each side of the robe.[2][5]
Textile and colour[edit]
The jikryeong could be unlined, lined, and padded.[2] It was natural raw hemp white in colour when used as a mourning attire.[2]
