This term occurs in a promotional text for a dressing gown and appears in the following context:
"Langer, leichter Morgenmantel aus hochwertigem, biologischem Baumwoll-Jersey mit einem kleinen *Schultersattel* im Vorderteil. Der Bindegürtel ist in der Seitennaht fixiert, sodass nichts verrutschen kann. Ein Wohlfühlstück, in dem man nicht nur gerne den Morgen verbringt."
Any help would be much appreciated.

epaulette
in the description of trenchcoats (with the same design) they are called epaulettes; however,depending whether they are indeed on the shoulders or a flap in the front as described in the German example is hard to say without picture.

sorry: after some reflection I would tend to say: yoke I hope that will work; sorry about the confusion (without illustration, it's a lot of guesswork)

Shoulder pad(s)
It is hard to know exactly what is being referred to without a picture, but as reference is made to it being a dressing gown, it would seem appropriate that it is shoulder pads.

I just can't imagine it being an epaulette if it’s a dressing gown, however it would be helpful if a picture was provided.
