The saekdongot is a type of hanbok, Korean traditional garment with colorful stripes by patchworking. It began to be made since the Goryeo period (918 – 1392). The name literally means "many colored (saekdong) clothes (ot)" in Korean. It was usually worn by children from the age of one to seven year old. The saekdong has been applied throughout jeogori (short jacket with sash), majoja (buttoned jacket), durumagi (overcoat) and among others.[1][2]
