@Poli: I think a jacket is rather a "saco" or a "chaqueta". And "esmokin"/"smoking" is a tuxedo.

Btw., "gaván" should rather be "gabán".

En chile, jacket = chaqueta o vestón, pero sabemos del uso de la palabra saco.

Chaquetón es un abrigo corto.

Sorry, didn't know. In Spain we say bolso. When we use bolsa we mean: bolsa de plástico, bolsa de la compra.

@David: "Colcha" is the (decorative) upper cover of a bed, placed over the sheets and blankets... I wasn't able to find a suitable word, even at bed clothing websites.

And Lou Ann posted a good picture of a "carpeta" in the b/v topic: http://forums.tomisimo.org/showthread.php?p=26358 (posts 24 to 27)
