Beautiful poncho from Mexico. In great shape and it was just dry cleaned and pressed. It can be styled with or without a belt. Loose size. Learning the Terms (AI summaries): Gaban" is a Spanish word that translates to "overcoat" or "topcoat" in English. It can also refer to a traditional Spanish-style cloak, a classic layering piece. A poncho is a type of outer garment that originated in South America and is essentially a blanket with a hole for the head. It's made from a single piece of fabric and worn to provide protection from cold, rain, and wind. Ponchos are sleeveless and worn by slipping the head through the hole in the center. A bit of History: Ironically, even though in history only males were permitted to wear the more lavish designs of ponchos, it seems that modern women are now taking their revenge by wearing colorful, bright and extraordinarily intricately patterned ponchos during the colder months.(Donquijote.org)
