Javirska howirka - "Rusnak speech" still concealed many names of clothing, architecture and customs characteristic of this dialect, everything that distinguished those inhabitants from neighboring ethnographic groups. The costume of the Ruthenian nobility included many original elements, such as long coats with one buttress, sheep's hats, but also influences from Transcarpathia: lajbiks, short coats, bonnets, felt hats with a ruff turned up, sheepskin coats decorated with morocco and boots with uppers, as well as the influence of "Szczewnica fashion", manifested mainly in rich embroidery on chołos, huńki and vests.
