 Rekel

Rekel () or lang rekel (plural "rekelech") is a type of frock coat worn mainly by Hasidic Jewish men during the Jewish work-week (Sunday-Friday).The word "rekel" stems from the German-dialect word "Röckel", a cognate of the High German "Röckchen", the grammatical diminutive of "Rock" (in this sense meaning a man's long coat, rather than a woman's skirt).
