Russet (cloth)
Russet is a coarse cloth made of wool and dyed with woad and Rose madder, madder to give it a subdued grey or brown shade. By the statute of 1363, poor English people were required to wear russet or cheap blanket. Humble squires and priests, such as Franciscans wore russet as a sign of humility but preferred a good quality russet such as that made in Colchester, which was better than the cheapest cloth. The medieval poem ''Piers Plowman'' describes the virtuous Christian: The ballad ''Of Patient Grissel and a Noble Marquess'' which was retold as ''Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded, Pamela'', has the heroine's aristocratic clothes of silk and velvet contrasted with her "country russet" which again signifies rustic virtue.

A ''kontusz'' (, ; ; ; originally from , ) is a type of outer garment worn by the Hungarian and Polish–Lithuanian male nobility. It became popular in the 16th century and came to the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth rule via Hungary from Turkey. In the 17th century, worn over an inner garment ('' żupan''), the ''kontusz'' became a notable element of male Polish national and Zaporozhian Cossack attire. The ''kontusz'' was a long robe, usually reaching to below the knees, with a set of decorative buttons down the front. The sleeves were long and loose, on hot days worn untied, thrown on the back. In winter a fur lining could be attached to the ''kontusz'', or a delia worn over it. The ''kontusz'' was usually of a vivid colour, and the lining was of a contrasting hue. The ''kontusz'' was tied with a long, wide sash called a '' pas kontuszowy''. The ''kontusz'' was more of a decorative garment than a practical one.

Żupan
Żupan (; , , , , ) is a long lined garment of West or Central Asian origin which was widely worn by male nobles in the multi-ethnic Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and by the Ukrainian Cossacks in the Cossack Hetmanate. It was a typical upper class male attire from the late 16th to the first half of the 18th century. Derivation The name żupan has other spelling variations—''czupan'' (from czupkan, a Crimean Tatar word or alternatively from zuban or ziban—a Turkic word according to Julian Horoszkiewicz), etymologically related to the Central Asian chapan and also the Japanese juban. Alternatively, the name originates from the Italian word ''giuppa'' (gown) which in turn might have come from Arabic ( jubba), although the garment itself probably is of Central Asian nomadic origin.Turnau I.
