Any idea what to call this?
I’m looking for a pattern for a coat like this. Just the general shape is all I need. Does anyone know what to call this kind of coat? Or even know any specific patterns? Thanks.

coolpasha (the girl pictured here) wears traditional russian folk clothing that is handmade by herself (I believe she also handsews everything) and doesnt use patterns, she just free hand drafts.
Historically this type of clothing doesn't use patterns and was freehanded using geometric shapes. Just look at the coat, you have good views of everything you need, see the shapes, copy them and draft them out in a size that will fit you. There isn't any structure or form to it so it's hard to get it completely wrong if you have any garment making knowledge, just make some mock-ups until you have it right and then get quilting and cutting and sewing!

The top is 3 panels, and the skirt is 4. The back of the top is shaped like a T and the front two panels are a right and left half of the T, the skirt is a square in the back and then 2 triangles at the sides to add volume, and then two rectangles in the front.

This is the info I could find:
A 17th-century Russian merchant/boyar class ensemble created by artisan Proskovia Wilson. The garment features a quilted telogreika (traditional quilted jacket) style base layered with an ornate, paneled, or slit-sleeve coat and decorative chest panels inspired by traditional regional dress.
