Such garment was worn in cold weather and for the journey over a malica. The sovik was sewn from deer skins, fur outside, with a hood. A piece of deer head skin formed the hood’s back.

This smart children’s sovik was made of motley young deer fur and decorated with triangular inserts of red cloth along the sleeves, hood, and above the hem. Abstract by I.A. Karapetova
