Etymology

The "jeogori" has been worn since the ancient time and was called various names such as "yu" (유), "boksam" (복삼, 複杉), "uihae" (위해, 尉解) in the Three Kingdoms period (57 BC - 668 AD). Although it is unknown that when the term, "jeogori" began to be used to refer the garment, it is assumed to appear in the late Goryeo period around King Chungnyeol's reign. The first historical document to mention the "jeogori" is "Cheongjeonui" (천전의, linktext|遷|奠|儀) for Queen Wongyeong (원경왕후), which was a funeral ceremony for carrying the coffin out of the palace. The document written in 1420 during the second reign of Sejong the Great records "jeokgori" (linktext|赤|古|里) and "danjeokgori" (linktext|短|赤|古|里). However, there is no certainty whether the record is a hanja (Chinese character) transliteration of a Korean word or Mongolian influence. Before the Goryeo period, such upper garment was referred to as "uihae" (위해, 尉解) in Silla. As the uihae was a transliteration of Silla language, dialects such as "uti" and "uchi" still remain to present.

Composition

The basic form of a "Jeogori" consists of "gil", "git", "dongjeong", "goreum" and sleeves. "Gil" (길) is the large section of the garment in both front and back side and "git" (깃) is a band of fabric that trims the collar. "Dongjeong" (동정) is a removable white collar placed over the end of the "git" and is generally squared off. The "goreum" (고름) are coat strings attached to the breast part to tie the "jeogori". [http://english.kbs.co.kr/korea/culture/clothing/ink_clt.html ] Women's "jeogori" may have "kkeutdong" (끝동), a different colored cuff placed on the end of the sleeves. The form of "jeogri" has been changed as time goes by.

There are several types of "jeogori" according to fabric, sewing technique, and shape.
