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.
