Waffenrock (also German: Waffenkleid; English: surcoat or tunic) was originally a medieval German term for an outer garment, worn by knights over their armor. Later, Waffenrock became the generic term for any military uniform, including dress and parade uniforms, and also referred to epaulets or shoulder boards with rank insignia, as well as uniform cuffs, badges, and other insignia.
