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 chainmail hauberk and later helped protect plate armor from corrosion and rust. A front slit allows 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. In addition to knights, foot soldiers in their retinues sometimes wore them as well. In the early 14th century, shorter surcoats became fashionable, and by the late 14th century, they were replaced by the jupont.
Made from cotton, this surcoat measures 127 cm in length.
