It's a costume! But I wonder if it is restricted to specefic people, region or period, or just a kind of clothes.

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): humbird

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

I have corrected the source term at the asker's request from "sach" to "sash".

Jonathan MacKerron Jan 21, 2006:
sashes are not culture-specific, Merriam Webster: any of various bands worn about the waist or over one shoulder, fastened with a loop, knot, or bow, and used as an accessory of dress, a symbol of an honorary or military order, or other distinctive badges
ALMERCANA (asker) Jan 21, 2006:
In fact it is Sash(es) and not Saches! could a moderator correct the term? Thanx
Tony M Jan 21, 2006:
What is your overall context? How does this term appear? Are you expecting it to be a regional costume? Sachsen, from Saxony?
Jonathan MacKerron Jan 21, 2006:
where does the word come from, it is listed in neither Webster nor OED!
