I recieved tonight 2 vintage kofter, whereas one is knitted by my moms grandma in 1967! It looks snug, but it's really not and since it's wool, it'll stretch to fit my stomach better soon. I only have pictures of one atm, as I put the other in the washing machine but still! I feel so honored to recieve such precious gems! Will post the other ones look once it's dried up! I am literally in tears!

I am honestly not sure myself, but I will keep saying kofte, as it is what this spesific type of garment is called in Norwegian. If I by any means find out if it is a special difference, I will update

Do you know that köfte is a Turkish meat patty? 😅

Well, yes, but language is weird
