Good sir, look dashing in one of our linen solid-colored Houppelandes! With full sleeves, decorated with square dags, it is fancy enough to wear before the king, yet sturdy enough to wear over armor and take into combat. Worn with a belt, this men’s garment emphasizes the shoulders, while allowing you to show off your legs for the ladies. It can be worn alone, or over one of our collared tunics and a pair of hose. Made from pre-shrunk linen, it can breathe on hot days and go into the washing machine. Our most popular garment, we’ve sold hundreds of these over the past twenty-five years with many satisfied customers for the Society for Creative Anachronisms, medieval events, and Renaissance faires. This is a solid colored garment, with an optional contrasting sleeve lining. Select which color you wish to have as the main body color, and which will be the accent sleeve ling color. Fabric color may vary slightly due to lighting and dye lot. For orders of two (2) or more matching houppelandes, please contact us first to confirm the availability of certain colors. There are over six yards of fabric in this garment, making this a very full yet light outfit that is forgiving to the changing waistline. This is a one-size fits most garment. Our standard size has fitted many hefty gentlemen, and their armor, while still looking perfect on more slender lords. Order one for yourself, or several matching houppelandes to outfit your friends and household for a truly impressive display in your colors. The houppelande was worn throughout Europe from approximately 1360-1460. From the 1360's until about 1395 men's and women's houppelandes were both full length garments. After 1395 men's houppelandes ranged from full length to above the hip. The mid thigh length (short) length was common with the working class. We have made houppelandes in many lengths, but by far our best selling is the men's short houppelande. We make two major versions, either with dagged sleeves and hems, or with cape sleeves. Short houppelande are usually worn with Hose. Although the dagged sleeve version can be worn alone, the cape sleeve ones are always worn over a shirt. ************************************************************ Custom requests: (please contact us before purchasing if you want any upgrades or customisation) Fabric Color - We have shown our standard colors above.
