The national costume of the Zuyder-Seacoast is principally worn along the border of the Veluwe. Noteworthy is that the kerchief is not pinned at the waist, but under the armpits. The cap has another shape than those of Staphorst, forming itself more behind than above the head with a white undercap, scalloped at the temples, spanning around the whole head and furnished with a fine pleated strip.
Over the cape comes the party-coloured cap, which shows a little part of the white one. Here-over the silver casque, fastened with a ribbon and a golden curl at the temples. The hair is all hidden under the cap. At funerals you can often see peculiar costumes, the men in long jackets and top hat.
