Also means
jacket
Usage Note
Saco means a large bag or sack in most contexts, but in many Latin American countries it also means a suit jacket or blazer (saco = chaqueta in Spain). As a false friend, English 'sack' (to fire someone) is despedir, not sacar. The plural is regular: sacos.
Examples
"Guardó las papas en un saco grande."
Natural Translation
He stored the potatoes in a large bag.
