Sorry, but the images previously used in the article presentet totally different items of clothing - żupan and bekiesza. I've removed them and instead put the right image of kontusz. You can contact me on Polish Wikipedia here:

This article appears to be of an appropriate length for the subject matter under discussion. It is also appropriately categorized and wikified.
By nature, stubbing and tagging articles devalues them, giving them an aura of unreliability and making them seem less credible. As part of my personal campaign to free up articles that have been stubbed and tagged without cause, this article has been disenstubbified.
In captions of two images there was written word "szlachtic", which, as I understand, was some compromise between Polish szlachcic and Ukrainian шляхтич (shlyahtych, or in more "Polish-like Latin ortography" szlachtycz) - but it (szlachtic) is not Polish nor Ukrainian word. So I've corrected it, under image of Polish nobleman I wrote szlachcic and under Ukrainian - шляхтич. Just wanted to explain what have I done here ;)

BTW, I never understood Piotrus' attempts to introduce the word "szlachcic" into English. I'm not a native speaker, but to me it sounds bizarre and I'd rather we used [[szlachta|gentry]] or [[szlachta|Polish-Lithuanian gentry]]. //Halibutt17:55, 19 April 2009 (UTC)reply
Thank you, for your comment and refs. I dont need a regestaration and find its useless.
Please give me examples of words in English in which "Sz" spells like [ʃ] ("sh"). I simply dont know them. Maybe there are some.
If we have a look at your refs from books.google, we can see that they are partly in Polish and thus cannot be the argument in this dispute. Some of the refs, however, use a word "kontush" in which Polish "sz" is replaced by English "sh". So, I'm not alone who think that word "kontush" is better than "kontusz". English and Polish share similar alphabet, but not phonology of similar letters. If wikipedia is in English, then its better to write words here in accordance with English orthography and phonology rather than Polish.--

English works do not prefer kontusz to kontush.
Your refs for "kontusz" include hundreds of non-English books, especially Polish. I wonder how Polish books can be an evidence in our dispute. We are taking about English academia, arent we? In English we don't spell "sz" like [ʃ]. It would rather sounds like [sʒ] or [sz]. [ʃ] is represented only by "sh". Thus, if we want to write Polish word "kontusz" in English according to the rules of English phonology and orthography, we should write "kontush". And if it is an wikipedia in English we should write "kontush" rather then "kontush". Right? --

My search comparison included the English word Poland, and as such should not include Polish books. You are welcome to show that this is not the case, and we can revise the keywords, but as it stands, I believe my search did indeed prove that the word "kontusz" was more often used then "kontush".--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|

Any reference that this was worn by Belarusians? By 19th century, when Belarusian national conciousness emerged, this clothing was quickly losing its popularity, and it was worn primarily by conservative Polish-Lithuanian nobility (peasant garb was
sukmana). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|
