  tip·pet (tąp“ąt) n. 1. A covering for the shoulders, as of fur, with long 
ends that hang in front. 2. A long stole worn by members of the Anglican 
clergy. 3. A long hanging part, as of a sleeve, hood, or cape. [Middle 
English tipet, perhaps from tip, tip of an object.]


Beats me why you'd want a sticky one... :)
