The term can refer to several different types of garments, including a TOPPER (6 letters), TUNIC (5 letters), JACKET (6 letters), JERKIN (6 letters), REEFER (6 letters), and BOLERO (6 letters). Toppers are usually lightweight and tailored, while tunics are loose-fitting and often have long sleeves. Jackets are typically more structured and may have a zipper or buttons. Jerkins are sleeveless and often made of leather. Reefers are double-breasted and usually have a belt. Finally, boleros are cropped jackets with short sleeves.
