Ponchos are loose outer garments traditionally made of woven fabric, originating in areas like the Andes Mountains and pre-Hispanic Mexico. The traditional design is usually fairly simple: A large sheet or blanket with a hole opening for the head, draped over the body for warmth, protection, and style. Lots of modern ponchos are designed as fashion items, and feature knit, crocheted, woven, and sewn styles with embellishments like fringe, beads, hoods, pockets, and zippers. Check out the multiple handmade poncho styles available from shops on Etsy selling men’s clothing.
