Sarape (English spelling)
A type of men's shawl used mainly in northern Mexico. Woven with cotton for the weft and wool for the warp, it has a multicolored horizontal stripe pattern and tassels on both ends. It is used as cold weather clothing for people working outdoors, but is also used as decoration by mariachi musicians. Similar rectangular woven fabrics with collar holes are called horongos, ponchos, gabans, etc., and are more common and widely used than sarapes. [Ooi Kuniaki]

主としてメキシコ北部で使用する一種の男性用ショール。横糸に綿,縦糸に毛を用いて織られ,多彩色の横縞模様で両端に房飾がつけられる。野外の仕事に従事する人の防寒着として使用されるが,マリアッチ音楽の演奏家などが装飾として用いることもある。同じような長方形の織物で襟穴のあるものは,ホロンゴ,ポンチョ,ガバンなどとよばれ,サラッペより一般的で多用される。【大井 邦明】
