A jupe referred to a loose-fitting wool jacket or tunic for men.[1] It was later restricted to an item of women's and children's clothing.[citation needed]
The term has now disappeared but was used up until the 19th century.[1] Usage of this meaning of jupe for menswear became restricted to "jupe panels" in jackets. (In French the word jupe means "skirt.")
