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 offered protection for the mail hauberk and later helped protect plate armor from corrosion and rust. The front slit lets the knight use it 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, in addition to knights, were sometimes worn by foot soldiers in their retinues. 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.
