👉 A baldachin is a type of formal attire worn by men in Russian and other Eastern European countries. It typically consists of a long coat, which is often made from wool or synthetic materials, and a jacket that covers the body. The coat is usually made of a light fabric such as cotton or linen, while the jacket is typically made of a heavier material like leather or fur. The coat is often paired with a tie and other accessories to complete the look.
