In earlier historical periods, the coat, in the form in which it appears to us at the present time, was part of the men's wardrobe, representing a product of a straight cut with a double-breasted fold-over collar and buttons.
The female model was made in the form of an ordinary long cape with a hood, which perfectly protected from the cold, but did not give room for movement and free action at all.
