Ukraine. There are many different winter garments in Ukraine. Today, such folk outerwear is almost totally replaced by modern clothes. But our ancestors used thick woolen coats, fur coats, sheepskin coats, and similar garments during the cold season. Here are several examples.
Male outerwear from Lemko region of Ukraine (western part of the country), the early 20th century. It is called “chuhania”

Vintage Ukrainian woolen coat. The front is very simple, without any embellishments. And also, you can see that there’s no buttons or any other fasteners – this coat was closed one flap over the other and belted. The back of the garment is embellished with colorful yarn pom-poms and, as you see, is composed from several pieces of woolen cloth.

Vintage but such a stylish woolen coat with long fur called “hunia”. This garment was traditional for Western Ukraine, and it was rather popular. This particular hunia is short (though, there were also long variants of this outerwear) and light (some hunias were much more thick and warm, while this one looks like it’s demiseasonal). Also, it is tied at the neckline with a cord, with no buttons or other fasteners. It looks charming!
