Dolman
Dolman is the name for a man's jacket in the Hungarian national costume, for a Turkish wrap and a sleeve shape.
Hungarian national dress and hussar uniform
The dolman was originally the name for a Hungarian men's skirt. Later this was the name given to the hussar's uniform jacket with cords . In cold weather, a similar jacket, trimmed with fur and partially lined, was worn over it, which was hung over the shoulder in summer. These were called mente in Austria-Hungary , fur in Germany and pelisse in France . The dolman was also used by many other troops beyond the hussars, especially with light troops such as the artillery on horseback and the hunters on horseback of the army of Napoleon, but also rather untypical for the marine infantry of his Imperial Guard. In the second half of the 19th century, the dolman was mostly replaced by the longer, tunic-like Attila . At the King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery he is z. B. still in use today for the parade uniform.
Turkish traditional costume
In Turkey, a wrap worn with a belt or waist sash was called a dolman. Today the term Dolman is sometimes used for loose, throw-like clothing.
Sleeve shape
Under Dolman sleeves is meant a combination of raglan sleeves and kimono , a wide, inserted in the front part of sleeves, the above is spherical, oval or angular, but cut down. Often the seams are also stitched to emphasize the shape. A slight twist below the shoulder gives the sleeve an original shape.
