An illustrated article on the traditional embroidered and appliqued sheepskin garments of Hungary and neighboring Central European regions: long capes (suba), short capes (kisbunda), jackets (ködmön), vests and coats. It covers how furriers prepared and dyed skins, garment construction, appliqué and embroidery motifs, regional color and style differences, the furrier's guild and craft, and the documentation work of Márton Dorogi. Most pages are photographs and line drawings of garments from the Brooklyn Museum and Metropolitan Museum, with a glossary of Hungarian terms and a bibliography of Hungarian-language sources.
