A long sheepskin cloak traditionally worn by Hungarian shepherds.
A suba is a heavy leather overcoat, fitted with the fleece turned inward for insulation and often embroidered on its visible outer face. Herders on the Hungarian plain relied on the garment to withstand hours outdoors through harsh winters, and museums now display well-preserved examples as folk costume. An older, unrelated historical use records the same short word as the name of a province within the Mogul empire.
