What does ATILLA mean?
- Atilla
- The atilla is a fancy, braided Hungarian shell-jacket or short coat, decorated with lace and knots. It has become part of the official uniform of the Hungarian cavalry, hussar, but was a part of the everyday wear of countrymen as well as nobility and officials. It was made in many styles and many colors including black, gray, blue, green, red and white. The origins of atilla believed to go back to the 16th century when Hungarians started wearing their short coats on one shoulder. One opinion is a romantic legend, explained by an English general to the effect that one night a Hungarian cavalry unit was attacked by the Turks and they had no time to dress properly. Instead they just threw on the short coat half shouldered and this is how they went to the battle. One of the deciding factor in their victory was the fact that the Turks, seeing the "flying sleeves of the short coats" thought that they are fighting men who had more than two arms, which in turn got them scared and made them run away. Others believe that the cavalary wore their short coat on half shoulder to use it as a shield, like their ancestors did, wearing animal skins for the same purpose.
