Chiripá (trouser robe)
The Chiripá was a trouser garment of the Spanish colonizers in South America , which was used by the gauchos and also found among the indigenous people there ( Mapuche and others) in the south of the continent, today's Argentina and Chile . The name is derived from the Quechua word "chiripac" ( chiri = cold; pac = for). The Chiripá is rarely used today.
