Bocskai is a traditional nobleman's jacket with braids from Hungary that is worn at ceremonial functions. Named for Prince Stephen Bocskai, it has military associations and has been called dignified. It is darkly colored and decorated with ornamentation and special buttons. It has been used for ceremonial purposes.
The Bocskai coat was adopted as civilian fashion beginning in the 1920s among the middle class and students. 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). Today, Bocskai style suits are appropriate attire for special occasions such as weddings or graduations.
