**Sukmana** is a type of traditional coat once worn by peasants in Poland,[1] and some other [Central European](/source/Central_Europe) 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](/source/Russet_(cloth)) 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.
