Medieval Surcoat Eckhart – Inspired by 12th Century Knightly Warfare

The Medieval Surcoat Eckhart is a historically inspired outer garment traditionally worn by knights over chainmail or armor beginning in the 12th century. Its primary function was protection from the sun and clear identification on the battlefield through distinctive colors and heraldic divisions.

Mi-Parti & Solid Color Variants
The mi-parti version features a classic vertical two-tone split, a popular medieval fashion reflecting allegiance, symbolism, and identity. This style appears in historical sources such as the Maciejowski Bible, the Codex Manesse, and other medieval manuscripts. Solid-color variants offer a cleaner, equally authentic appearance.

Cut & Construction
This calf-length surcoat is made from heavyweight 100% cotton and features a straight, traditional cut. Side slits extend up to the waist, with additional front and back vents for freedom of movement when walking, fighting, or riding. Designed to be worn with a leather belt for an authentic medieval silhouette.

Ideal For
Medieval reenactment, Viking and fantasy LARP, Renaissance fairs, cosplay, theater, film productions, collectors, and historical enthusiasts seeking authenticity and durability.
