Trishkin caftan

Krylov I.A.

Phraseologism: Trishkin caftan.

Meaning: About a situation when, due to limited means, they try to solve a certain problem, neglecting the solution of another or creating a new problem.

Origin: The name of the fable (1815) by I. A. Krylov (1769-1844). "Trishka's caftan was torn at the elbows," and to repair the elbows of the caftan, he cut off the sleeves and made patches. When they began to laugh at his short sleeves, he found a way to correct this misfortune: “Oh, Trishka is not a simple little one! // He cut the tails and the floors, // He set up his sleeves, and my Trishka is cheerful, // Even though he wears a caftan // Whose camisoles are longer. // Moral of the fable: // In the same way, I saw, sometimes // Other gentlemen, // Having confused things, they correct them, // Look: they flaunt in Trishka's caftan.
