historical
THE GREATEST NOVELTY IN DRESS FOR THE PRESENT PERIOD, is the ENGLISH WITZCHOURA, being the most indispensible^([sic]) appendage to Dress that can be conceived. It protects the wearer from the inclemencies of the weather—prevents dress from being deranged—and forms a most elegant and useful exterior covering for Evening Parties, the Theatre, Walking, or Riding. Its make is perfectly unique. A Chapeau Bras is attached to the Witzchoura, made in a very novel manner.
Where it comes from
Borrowed from French witzchoura (obsolete), vitchoura (“witzchoura”), from Polish wilczura (“(archaic) wolfskin”), from wilczy (“wolf-like, lupine”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *wĺ̥kʷos (“wolf”)) + -ura (suffix forming feminine nouns).
