This cloth was coarse and rough and was used by hunters as protection, and the expression "pelar el fustán" existed as a synonym for hunting, but there was also a theory that the town was called Pelafustán with a derogatory character, like where the pelafustanes live ( rascals). On the other hand, a simpler theory is that there was a settler of these lands called Pela Hustán. Nothing to see.
