A pelisse is a type of outer garment or coat, originally worn by men in the 18th and 19th centuries but later adapted for women's fashion as well. It is typically made from a rich and heavy fabric, such as wool, and is characterized by its long and loose fit, wide sleeves, and fur or faux fur trim. The garment usually features a double-breasted front with large buttons and is often belted at the waist to provide shape and definition. Pelisses were commonly worn as part of formal or military dress and could be decorated with braiding, embroidery, or other embellishments to indicate rank or status. In modern times, the pelisse has largely fallen out of use, but some vintage and historical clothing enthusiasts continue to wear them as a fashion statement or for reenactments.
