[edit] To: PinchasC

You win. The link stays. Think you can find enough material to create a page about the Kapoteh? Daykart 08:21, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

The Kapote is essentially the same as a Bekishe, both are long black coats. --PinchasC | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€ 15:34, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Of course. And Chabad should be a redirect to Satmar because both are Hasidic sects. Daykart 17:30, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Daykart, this kind of response is unhelpful. JFW | T@lk 08:18, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Okay then, here's a helpful response: Does the Bekishe also have a rounded corner? My father's Chalat only had two corners, as far as I can recall; but most Zaidenah Bekishes which I've seen have the split in back. Daykart 15:06, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

The difference between a bekishe and a kapoteh is that a bekishe has six buttons in the front and no slit in the back, while a kapoteh has four buttons in the front and a slit in the back. A kapoteh has two buttons in the back, as does a zeidineh bekishe, but most tish bekishes don't. Itzik18 01:27, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

I doubt there will be enough material for two pages, unless there has been some textiles sociologist comparing different garbs and written a long study about their significance :-) JFW | T@lk 18:22, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Not yet, but that's a good idea. :) Seriously though, I'd appreciate if someone would answer my question. Daykart 19:18, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Don't ask me. I'm a Yekke. JFW | T@lk 20:38, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Anyone mind if I add that Stam Hungarians and Yerushalmis wear bekishes, not just Chasidim? 88.152.2.248 00:04, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
