Inkulumo ethi "Ukugeleza kwesihlabathi" kwavela ngenxa yemfashini yabesilisa ngekhulu le-16. Futhi kungasebenza kuphela kwabesilisa. Eminyakeni engu-477 edlule, Ephreli 10, 1536, ngesikhathi sokuvakasha kweNgilandi, i-Duke of Fabrizio Bologna yashaya inkosi uHenry VIII neNdlovukazi u-Anna bolein usayizi nokuklanywa kwe-gulfi yakhe. INkosi uHeinrich VIII ayithandile le nto, futhi yammukela yena.
Ekuqaleni, uGulfik wadalelwa ukumboza izitho zangasese. Kepha kancane kancane waphenduka imininingwane yemfashini. Ekuqaleni kwekhulu le-16, uGulfik wakhulela ngosayizi, waba ngaphezulu futhi wabahlobisa, wanda ngosayizi wezitho zangasese. UGulFiki wathunga ezindwangu ezibizayo njenge-velvet nosilika, wanwetshwa ngemicu yegolide futhi wahlotshiswa ngamaparele, ukufezeka, izimbambo, amatshe ayigugu.
Ezinye izifundela zabhalwa phansi. Ukuze ulondoloze ifomu elinjalo elithi "ukuma", indwangu yahlanganiswa futhi yabekwa, imvamisa ezingxenyeni ezimbalwa. Ukwakha umbono onobukhulu obuhle kakhulu besithunzi sakho futhi ubukeke obuhle kubobulili obuhlukile, amanye amadoda aze asebenzise i-gulfiki njengohlobo lwephakeji, ecashile kukhona izinto ezincane nemali. Kanye nesisindo sesikhwama kanye nobuningi bezinhlamvu zemali bekukhulunywa kahle kakhulu ngezinzuzo ze-cavalier ze-cavalier. UHulfik manje wasigcizelele, futhi akazange acashe.
Amadoda anqobayo, angenawo amagugu anele nemali, azibeka ezikhwameni ze-gulfik nge-hay, sawdust, izinwele zamahhashi, utshani kanye nesihlabathi. Kepha isihlabathi sasihlala endaweni ehamba phambili futhi sasiyinto ekhetheke kakhulu yokunikeza i-gulfi. Futhi, kwenzeka, ngesikhathi sokudansa kanye nentokazi, noma, kubi, ukwamukelwa okunesizotha (okungafanele ukufihla esixukwini sokudansa) Isikhwama singase siqale, futhi nesihlabathi kusukela saqala ukuzulazula phansi. Ukulandela into empofu, ibinzana lalizwakala: "Kulo, isihlabathi sesivele siphakanyisiwe, futhi ngeke sinciphise."
