Product description

The chaperon was a popular piece of clothing throughout the High Middle Ages. It protects the head, neck, and shoulders from cold weather and rain. People of all classes wore them, often decorated and in bright colors. By the Late Middle Ages, their use was limited to commoners, who began wearing them in new ways. The liripipe, for example, once hung from the back — later, people wrapped it around the neck.

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

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.
