Discover the new Mi Parti collection from Burgschneider! The surcoat Aleran comes in two halves, sold separately — mix and match them to build your own mi parti surcoat. Fasten the left side to the right side using the buttons. If you belong to different medieval LARP and reenactment groups, a few left and right sides give you a wide range of color combinations. The surcote dates back to the 12th century. Worn over other clothing, it featured rich heraldry and decorative elements that helped soldiers tell friend from foe in the heat of battle. Made from a heavy wool fabric in a deep color, the Surcoat "Aleran" holds up in all weather conditions. From the 11th to the 16th century, the "mi-parti" (partially colored) style was hugely popular. It joined two different colored fabrics at the center for a bold color contrast and dramatic look. In the Middle Ages, mi-parti appeared on cloaks, tabards, dresses, trousers, and gowns. The earliest examples go back to the 9th and 10th centuries, when split colors showed up on legs and shoes — boots were half one color, half another. During the High Middle Ages, the style grew as color symbolism in clothing became more important. Colors often signaled a person's status or allegiances. By the 13th and 14th centuries, many men — especially vassals — copied the coat-of-arms colors of their feudal lords. Toward the end of the 16th century, the style gradually faded.
