Bocskai is a traditional nobleman's jacket with braids from Hungary that is worn at ceremonial functions. Named for Prince Stephen Bocskai, [1] it has military associations and has been called dignified. [2] [3] It is darkly colored and decorated with ornamentation and special buttons. [4] It has been used for ceremonial purposes. [5]

The Bocskai coat was adopted as civilian fashion beginning in the 1920s among the middle class and students. [1] One coat purchased for a special occasion in the "Bacskai-style" was described as having opossum fur collar and silk lining. The style was described as popular at the time (1930's). [6] Today, Bocskai style suits are appropriate attire for special occasions such as weddings or graduations. [7]
