Kustyshki are part of the traditional Russian headdress of Arkhangelsk Gubernia. A red taffeta headscarf is folded into a wide strip and tied to a povoinik in such a way that the knot is on the forehead with the ends sticking out at the sides. A sarafan made of evenly dyed indigo cloth, usually homemade linen, was known as a sinyak in the North. The sinyak was cut like an old A-line sarafan, but had no fastenings, just two silky ribbons and a row of decorative white buttons.
