Have you looked up "pelisse"? I believe that this is = to a wide sleeved coat or a generic to coat and jacket types of garments and usually fur line or trimmed.

-----Original Message----- Hello, I recently discovered that I need to make myself a warm cloak or outer garment for reenacting events for the 15th century. I was wondering about something like garnache - a warm outer garment with sleeves. Cloaks are much less practical. But the trouble is, I cannot find any sort of such outer garment for 15th century women! Does any of you know of some illustrations or written evidence that would help me? Time and location doesn't matter much as anything will help me, but if you insist, I'm acting as a mid 15th century middle class woman from France. Thanks a lot!
