Another outerwear garment used in the Carpathian region is called “keptar”. It is a traditional piece and very popular even these days. Keptar is a sleeveless fur coat with beautiful embellishments. It is made from a sheepskin.
Keptar is used by both men and women. It is worn not only during the cold season but all year long, as it can be pretty cool in the mountains even in summer. This garment is an obligatory part of the women’s festive folk costume. An embroidered shirt worn under the keptar is like an undergarment; it isn’t used for special occasions without the vest, jacket, or coat.
Keptar is always richly decorated. Embroidery, applique, braiding, pompons, metal decorations and tassels are used to make the garment festive and very fine.
Here are several examples of a vintage keptar.

Woolen coat called “hunia” from Kosiv district, Ivano-Frankivsk region (western part of Ukraine). This one is short and white. It doesn’t have any buttons but has a cord near the collar to hold the coat in place. It is also rather thin but very warm.
Usually, the hunia garments were used by both men and women. They could be short or long, furry (made from sheepskin) or woolen. Shepherds often used hunia to cope with cold winters in the mountains.
