North Americandialectarchaic
A heavy jacket or cardigan, often knitted or made of coarse cloth, once worn by rural workers in North America.
A wamus was practical outerwear rather than a fashion item, worn by farmers and laborers for warmth while doing outdoor work in nineteenth-century rural America. It typically buttoned or tied at the front and was made from wool or other heavy material sturdy enough for daily use. The word survives now mainly in older regional writing and in descriptions of period clothing rather than in everyday speech.
