Chaperon Skjoldehamm, wool blend, autumn green

Product description

The chaperon became a gladly worn piece of clothing in the High Middle Ages. It protects the head, neck and shoulders from cold weather and rain. During the High Middle Ages they were worn by all classes of society and were often decorated and worn in bright colors. In the Late Middle Ages, their use was limited to the more common people who started to wear them in alternative ways. The liripipe for example, which used to hang from the back, was later wrapped around the neck.

Fabric material: 74% wool, 15% polyester, 7% polyamide,

Size chart

S/M	35	60	70
L/XL	35	66.5	77

This size chart is measured on the garment itself, not on the wearer’s body. Measurements are in centimeters. Measure your chest circumference first. Add extra room to this for a comfortable fit.: Regular fit: add 8–12 cm to your chest circumference. Loose fit / broad shoulders: add 12–19 cm to your chest circumference. Compare the result with the size chart and choose the size whose chest measurement is equal to or greater than your calculated size. Example: If your chest circumference is 100 cm and you want a normal fit, add about 10 cm of extra room. This gives you approximately 110 cm. Then choose the size whose chest measurement in the size chart is at least 110 cm.
