Product description
The tradition of wearing a surcoat over armor began during the Crusades. Surcoats helped prevent overheating by shielding the armor from direct sunlight. They also provided ideal protection for the mail hauberk and later helped protect plate armor from corrosion and rust. This surcoat features a slit, allowing the knight to use it more easily on horseback.
From the late 12th century, knights primarily wore long surcoats. By the mid-13th century, these garments were increasingly adorned with personal coats of arms and sometimes worn by foot soldiers in their retinues as well. In the early 14th century, shorter surcoats became fashionable. By the late 14th century, they were replaced by the jupont.
Made from cotton, this surcoat measures 135 cm in length.
