Product description
The Schaube was one of the most characteristic overgarments for men in the 16th century, especially popular between 1520 and 1550. You wore it over all your other clothing: a wide cloak with a wide one collar which rested on the shoulders, completely open in the front and with long, loose sleeves. The length varied with fashion, but the knee-length version is the most iconic. Under the Schaube a doublet and jerkin emerged, and the cloak itself was often fed or trimmed with fur — the more luxurious the fur trim, the higher the status of the wearer.
This jacket from Mytholon is inspired by the Schaube: the biggest difference is the hood, which the original Schaube did not have. The elegant wide sleeves and fitted waist make it a beautiful piece of clothing. You close the jacket at the front with a row of buttons, and with the buttons at the back you decide how close-fitting the waist will be.
It is made of burgundy canvas cotton, with a lining of black cotton.
