Wraprascal or "wrap-rascal" was an 18th-century term for a loose overcoat. It was long and loose and was worn by both men and women. The garment was fastened with huge metal buttons and was occasionally cape-style. The coat was used for riding.[1][2][3]
Frederick William Fairholt compares it to the following version of surtout in his work Costume in England.
" In Gay's “ Trivia , " “ a Joseph ” is given as explanation of “ surtout , " and is further described as a wraprascal "
