Cloaks quickly became popular, they were worn by ordinary people, and by representatives of the leading elite. This continued until the beginning of the twentieth century, until women appreciated the benefits that this stylish outerwear can give them. Since then, and up to the present day, the mackintosh in the women's wardrobe is an integral element.
