The Kor people mainly live on slash-and-burn agriculture. Weaving and blacksmithing are not developed, but they have many beautiful knitted items. The Kor people mainly buy fabrics from the Viet and Xo Dang people. On normal days, Kor men are shirtless and wear loincloths. Women wear yếm or short-sleeved shirts with skirts. On holidays, men wear loincloths and xa pon (a large brocade covering the calf). The ceremonial costumes of Kor women are very colorful, including many colorful beads and colored tassels.
