This might well be from Reval, a Hansa city that traded primarily in furs and timber. Seems like the kind of outfit you'd come up with if your was to show off how much fur you had access to.

Reval is Tallinn (in Estonia), so perhaps the thick fur enclosure is hot enough to work as a sort of "personal travel sauna"?
