Witzchoura

Alright kiddo, have you ever heard of a fancy coat that people wear during fancy parties? Well, a witzchoura is a type of fancy coat that was popular during the 19th century. It is a long coat that reaches almost to the ground and has a big fur collar and cuffs. The fur is usually from an animal called a marten, which is a type of weasel. The coat also has a hood that covers the head and shoulders.

People wore witzchouras to stay warm during cold winter parties and events. They were often made of luxurious materials like silk, velvet, or brocade, and were very expensive.

Nowadays, witzchouras are not as common, but you may still see them in movies or at historical reenactments. They are a fascinating example of how people used to dress up for special occasions.
