What did Jews wear in the early 1900s?

Question

need it for a project. please describe it, or give a link

Answer 1

the same clothes in Nosferatu. the movie was designed to scare people about the immigrant Jews bringing disease. just like the immigration scare today where people think they are all terrorists trying to kill us.

Answer 2

Well, Guitar... is correct. It all depends on where you mean.
The archetypical black coat and fur-trimmed streimel was worn only by certain groups of Chassidim, mostly in Poland, Belarus, and nearby countries. It's picturesque and distinctive, but not typical.
For more usual clothing of Eastern European Jews, early 1900's, try here (and click on the individual pictures to enlarge them):
