Köpönyegnyílás

Köpönyegnyílás is a Hungarian term that translates to "cloak opening" or "mantle opening." It refers to the slit or gap in the front of a cloak or mantle that allows the wearer to access the garments underneath or to pass their arms through. This feature was particularly common in historical clothing, especially for heavier cloaks designed for warmth or protection.

The köpönyegnyílás could vary in design and size depending on the style of the cloak and its intended use. Some openings were simple slits, while others might have been reinforced with stitching or featured a more elaborate cut. In some cases, the opening could be closed with a clasp, button, or tie to provide additional warmth or security. The presence and form of the köpönyegnyílás were often dictated by the fashion of the period and the practical needs of the wearer. It played a role in the overall silhouette and functionality of the garment, allowing for a balance between freedom of movement and protection from the elements.
