Product description

Discover the new Mi Parti collection from Burgschneider! The surcoat Aleran comes in two halves, sold separately — mix and match left and right sides to build your own mi parti surcoat. Fasten the left side to the right with the buttons. Belong to multiple medieval LARP and reenactment groups? A few left and right sides let you create a wide range of color combinations. The surcote is a garment dating back to the 12th century. Worn over other clothing and covered in heraldry and decorative elements, it served one clear purpose: to tell friend from foe in the heat of battle. The Surcoat "Aleran" is made from a heavy wool fabric in a deep color, suited for all weather conditions. From the 11th to the 16th century, the "mi-parti" (partially colored) style was popular, joining two different-colored fabrics at the center. The result is a striking color contrast that creates a dramatic look. In the Middle Ages, mi-parti was a key style across cloaks, tabards, dresses, pants, and gowns. The earliest examples date to the 9th and 10th centuries, when split colors appeared on legs and shoes — boots were half one color, half another. Through the High Middle Ages, the mi parti style grew as color symbolism in clothing became more important. Colors often signaled a specific status or allegiance. The style spread further in the 13th and 14th centuries, when many men — especially vassals — adopted the coat of arms colors of their feudal lords. By the end of the 16th century, the style had gradually faded.
