  1. a quality of coarse cloth
    • 1845, Vicente Turnes, Diálogo entre Silvestre Cajaraville e Domingo Magariños:
      Estóu debendo na tenda
      A chamarra que hoje trago
      E o somonte dos calzós
      Que ja estan feitos farrapos;
      I owe to the shop
      the coat I wear today
      and the cloth of the pants,
      which are already in tatters
