Struggling with No. 15 = Heraldic coat (6 letters) Wondered about Ermine but it's not really a coat, more of a trim. Anybody any ideas?

Of the other furs in common use in heraldry, vair, ermines and erminois all have the wrong number of letters, but there is potent (which I think qualifies as a fur).
Another possibility, however, is tabard. All of the kings, heralds and poursuivants of arms wear richly embroidered tabards.
