There are childrens tunics with this furry fabric. I will have to look one up in my reference material but there is a hooded tunic nearly complete in one of the museum collections.
I will send you the information once I get home and can find it in my library

I still havent found the illustration of the childs tunic that I was orignally thinking of.
