Product information
The castañeta, also known as the postizo or the bullfighter's coleta (pigtail), is part of the traditional bullfighting costume. It is pinned to the hair and sits under the montera, the matador's hat, during the bullfight. Bullfighters once grew a pigtail of their own hair; over time the custom gave way to this hairpiece. That is where the Spanish saying «cortarse la coleta», to cut off the pigtail, comes from: it means retiring from the ring.
- Made in: Spain, by hand.
- Dimensions: 4.5 cm wide and 6.5 cm long.
- Use: pinned into the hair, just below the montera.
For matadors, novilleros and bullfighting school students completing their suit of lights, and for collectors of bullfighting gear who want a piece with so much history behind it.
