[edit] Tsoumpes

He was nicknamed "Tsoumpes" because of the distinctive Hydriot clothing he wore.

What does Τζουμπές mean? Gordonofcartoon 17:38, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

It refers to the clothing he wore. Tsoumpes were a kind of long robe that some merchants wore on formal occasions during the Ottoman Greece era. Apparently, Volgaris was famous for wearing this style of dress formally and informally. See Greek wikipedia: el:Τζουμπές They are said to resemble the robes of the Turkish imams. This was not the traditional hydriot costume of vraka, boots and fez, btw, and I will see about fixing that...

Thanks. I suspect the misidentification as Hydriot costume comes from here. Gordonofcartoon 23:41, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
