A zamarra is a sheepskin coat worn by Basqueshepherds.[1] In the 1830s, Edward Bell Stephens strongly recommended that visitors to the Spanish Basque region purchase the zamarra, which he described as made from black Andalusianastrakhan lined with white sheepskin.[2] It was recommended as an ideal travelling jacket, serviceable in both heat and cold, and very water-resistant.[2]

The academic garment also worn as a vestment, the chimere is closely related to the zamarra,[3] from which it evolved during the Middle Ages.[4]
A similar coat is used in Alentejo, southern Portugal, and called samarra.[5] It is made of wool, with a furry collar, and the usual colours are brown, dark blue or black.
