Product description
A houppelande (or houpelande) was a loose-fitting, long outer garment with wide, flared sleeves worn by both men and women in Europe during the late Middle Ages. The inside was often lined with fur. It later gained popularity among professional groups and survived in the Western world as the familiar academic and legal gowns. Men always wore the houppelande over a doublet.
The houppelande appeared around 1360 and stayed fashionable well into the next century. Its origins lie in the herigaut, a similar 13th-century garment with hanging sleeves. Tailors often finished the edges by cutting them into decorative shapes — scalloped patterns, crenellations, or even leaf shapes.
This woolen houppelande is perfect for medieval reenactment.
