German term or phrase: Heroldsrock
"Burgundischer Heroldsrock"

The term comes from a Swiss text about the Burgundian Wars. I believe the correct translation here for "Herold" is "apparitor" (messenger), but "Rock"? Is it a frock, jacket, smock, or something else?

agree  Michael Wetzel: I would write "Herald's". Otherwise: Wikipedia (en), Oxford Dictionary of English and Merriam Webster's Collegiate are unanimously for Ken... Why "apparitor" instead of "herald"?
