After five months of wandering in the vast alpine stretches on the roof of the world he and his companions had to return without any demon strative proof, but with enough indirect evidence to convince them that the jeti is no myth and that one day he will be found to be of a a very remarkable man-like ape type thought to have died out thousands of years before the dawn of history. " Apart from the search for the snowman," the narrative investigates every aspect of life in this the highest habitable region of the earth's surface, the flora and fauna of the little-known alpine zone below the snow line, the unexpected birds and beasts to be met with in the Great Himalayan Range, the little Buddhist communities perched high up among the crags, and above all the Sherpas themselves that stalwart people chiefly known to us so far for their gallant assistance in climbing expeditions their yak-herding, their happy family life, and the wav they cope with the bleak austerity of their lot.

One hundred and ﬁ fty years ago, the people of this island created a unique cloth, a tweed woven entirely by hand that was to become world famous. Today, it is known simply as Harris Tweed. To this day, Harris Tweed is the only fabric in the world protected by an Act of Parliament. It must be “made with 100% pure virgin wool, dyed, spun and ﬁ nished in the Outer Hebrides and woven by hand by the Islanders in their homes on the Islands of Lewis, Harris, Uist and Barra.” Harris Tweed production is monitored on a daily basis and all fabric is inspected and approved before being stamped with their trademark. No other fabric can call itself Harris Tweed, just as no other cap can call itself Stormy Kromer. We are proud to bring you this unique collection of products which combines the history and tradition of two legendary brands from either side of the Atlantic.

Pangden: Sherpa Women and Marriage Dolma D. Sherpa Introduction Every Piece of Clothing Has Its Own Story Behind It
Pangden: Sherpa Women and Marriage Dolma D. Sherpa Introduction Every piece of clothing has its own story behind it. The journey a cloth makes, that we are unaware of, is not limited to a single culture and geographical location. Clothing conveys a message without having to speak for it. The clothing piece we will focus in this paper is, Pangden. A pangden is more than just a mere piece of clothing. It’s a traditional way of determining your gender and marital status without having to explain it. However, like many other old tradition and culture, pangden has had gone through some cultural reconstruction by the newer generation. In this paper, we will be observing pangden up close and through the interviews of woman who wear it. We will also discuss the pangden and its background, the journey it has had since its manufacturing in Lhasa, Tibet, to across the globe, in my closet in New York, USA. We will also compare the Pangden with the Head adornments women in Rupea, Romania wears as a sign of being married. The main take away will be focused on the relationship it has with the wearer’s group Identity and who it is passed down to. Background Pangden is part of traditional dress for women. It is rectangular piece of weaved colorful cloth stitched together to a longer piece of fabric so you can tie it around your waist. It appears to look like a half apron but serves a very different purpose. The pangden I’ll be talking about in this paper, is a hand down from my mom and holds a significance in my wardrobe.
