Located on the western coast of the province of Trabzon, Akçaabat is one of the oldest settlements in the Eastern Black Sea region. It is significant for its precious historical places displaying the traces of Roman, Byzantine, Komnenos and Ottoman period. It is marked with diverse and rooted culture, folklore, geopolitical position, geographical structure and prosperous flora. This study reviews the history of Akçaabat from ancient times to present day and explores many historical artefacts in Ortamahalle since the 19th century. The samples of historical houses from Ottoman period represent the civil architecture at the time through narrow streets, stairs, walls, and fountains, which carry the traces of the past to the present. This study examines the clothing culture that emerged as a result of the knowledge, skills, and experience passed down by women from generation to generation in Ortamahalle, always a remarkable district in Akçaabat. The study deals with the clothing culture, and its idiosyncratic place in social life through the wedding dress, bridal weight, engagement, wedding, street and house clothes, uniforms for men, child uniforms and school uniforms, all designed and made by the local tailors for generations long in Ortamahalle. The study reviewed field literature, historical accounts and other sources.
