The traditional sheepskin waistcoat is approximately 90 years old, originating from the Beiuș area, Bihor county, Romania. Even though at the beginning, this model of clothing was typical of hungarian clothing, being common in the hungarian villages around Beiuș (worn by both men and women), with the 20th century, it began to make its way and in the traditional romanian port; adopted only by women and especially in the villages of Valea Roșiei.

The sheepskin waistcoat is ornamented by a stitch on colored wool with exclusively floral motifs. In front are arranged two vertical ornamental fields made of flowers in the colors red, pink, dark pink, purple, green in two shades and sometimes blue. The frontal ornaments are framed laterally by two pairs of narrow black and carmine leather strips; so that underneath, arranged transversely, there are three or more rows of embossed leather with different motifs consisting of small holes arranged in an orderly fashion to create a pattern. Usually the leather strips are black and carmine.
