Found some sites on historical Russian garb:

I'm still having trouble finding references for the svita/sukna. I believe that's the coat I want to make. I know it's not the shuba. Btw, I focusing on male garb because I like the tunic, coat, decorated cuffs & pants look. However, I *might* make a woman's headress.
Also found this video short for historical Russian woman's garb:

OMG, the detail on the cuffs!!
[addendum]
What I'm looking for might also be considered the zipun or caftan, notably found in cossack garb.
