Men in Nebaj wear an open jacket called a chaqueta and a straw hat. The jacket is traditionally paired with a Western-style sweater and trousers. Men often wear Western-style clothing instead of traditional handmade clothing because modern garments are cheaper and more practical. In order to continue the practice of wearing traditional clothing, men typically seek women that are skilled weavers to become their wives. Children also wear a traje when they attend school.
