The Shaman's Coat from Vietnam

When I was in Hanoi in October I was lucky enough to find a shaman's coat which I could afford (i.e. under $200) and in good condition. Its not old...old...but beautiful which is what I was looking for.
I am not sure what it is used for but I didn't care. I just thought it was beautiful and special. It is probably 20 to 40 years old and hand embroidered of course.
