Sukmana

Polish dancers, 2006. The man wears a sukmana.

A sukmana is a type of traditional coat once worn by peasants in Poland,^[1] and some other Central European countries,^[2] as well as Hungary (where it was known as szokmány). It was particularly common from the 18th to early 20th centuries. It was made from a simple, hand woven wool fabric comparable to russet cloth, and usually retained its natural white or grayish color.^[2]^[3] The coat was long, with sleeves, and wider towards the lower parts.^[3]

It was worn by men and sometimes by women.
