Summary/Abstract: The illustrations in the Madrid Skylitzes are used as a reference point when researching Bulgarian male clothing during the period of Byzantine occupation. Earlier and later local depiction sources, grave findings and mural portraits from Kastoria, which was the center of the border culture of the Middle Ages, are used for comparison purposes. Based on the conducted analysis, differentiation is made between several types of clothing probably used by Bulgarians in the 11th – 12th centuries, such as hairy hats and hats with a decorative rim; caftans decorated with braid; tunics fastened by laces at breast level; clothes with overlong sleeves; chlamydes; dresses with slit skirts; trousers.
