How it's used

This garment is deeply associated with the political history of the early 20th century and is often perceived as formal or traditional attire. While it is rarely seen as daily wear in modern Hong Kong, it remains a common costume choice for period dramas or formal commemorative events. The design is iconic due to its four pockets and five buttons, which are sometimes symbolically interpreted to represent different virtues or government branches.
