last visit: 09.11.05 		A friend as asked to to get him a coat in Evora next month when i visit but not sure whaats it's called. A long cape like wool coat with a fur collar. Seems they are popular there. Would help to know what they are called so i can ask my hotel where the nearest shop is.
Thanks in advance.
