They were worn by almost everyone, peasant to noble, from Roman times through the 1300's.  Many of the same variations are seen again and again, although a few appear to be limited to one sex or the other and woman's tunics or undertunics were always long.  Class differences were shown by the fabric and decoration as well as the cut of the tunic.  A nobleman at court might wear a long, full tunic of silk with jeweled embroidery,  while working in the field, his poorest peasant would wear a short tunic of coarse wool.  Men would usually wear hose (\u003ca href=\"%%GLOBAL_ShopPathSSL%%\/mens-italian-renaissance-garments\/\"\u003eMM043\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"%%GLOBAL_ShopPathSSL%%\/medieval-military-garments\/\"\u003eMM101\u003c\/a\u003e) with their tunics, but women didn't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the first half of the 14th century the discovery that one could cut the armholes and sleeve caps curved, thus achieving a better fit, caused some change in the basic style.  With this change the tunic continued to be worn, in a more or less modified form for another 200 years, especially among the lower classes.  One version of the tunic  evolved into the cotehardie (\u003ca href=\"%%GLOBAL_ShopPathSSL%%\/womens-cotehardies-and-sideless-surcoats\/\"\u003eMM021\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"%%GLOBAL_ShopPathSSL%%\/mens-cotehardies\/\"\u003eMM023\u003c\/a\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mediaeval Miscellanea","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44185526403132,"sku":"MM016","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/4442\/2972\/files\/mm016__73789.1323802214.800.800.gif?v=1775820231"},{"product_id":"products-womens-cotehardies-and-sideless-surcoats-html","title":"Women's Cotehardies and Sideless Surcoats","description":"\u003cp\u003ec. 14th and 15th centuries\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes 3 cotehardies and 4 sideless surcoats (sizes 6-20).

While there were regional variations, the basic cut of the cotehardie was the same throughout Europe.  Originally a version of the tunic (\u003ca href=\"%%GLOBAL_ShopPathSSL%%\/tunics\/\"\u003eMM016\u003c\/a\u003e), cotehardies differed in sleeve cut, variations, and tailor fit.  Woman's cotehardies were fitted or even tight to the hips, then flared to the hem.  They most often had long tight sleeves.  They would be worn over a chemise (\u003ca href=\"%%GLOBAL_ShopPathSSL%%\/womens-undergarments-ruffs-collars-cuffs\/\"\u003eMM090\u003c\/a\u003e).  In the first half of the 14th century a major style change occurred.  With the invention of curved sleeve caps, gussets under the arm became unnecessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSleeveless tunics or surcoats (from the French \"sur le cote\", i.e. over the cotehardie) were worn by both sexes as early as the 12th century, but with the return of crusaders from the Holy Land the style became wildly popular.  The armholes deepened to the waist, then \u003cem\u003e(particularly on woman's surcoats)\u003c\/em\u003e to the hip, earning the name \"sideless surcoats\".  These worn by women over very tight cotehardies, roused the ire of the church because their revealing cut was considered too seductive -the clergy dubbed these \"the Gates of Hell\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSurcoats and cotehardies for both sexes could be plain and somber, or wildly colorful.  Heraldic motifs were common on these garments.  Both sexes began wearing houpelandes (\u003ca href=\"%%GLOBAL_ShopPathSSL%%\/houpelandes\/\"\u003eMM026\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cem\u003e)\u003c\/em\u003e over a cotehardie after 1380.  Cotehardies and surcoats as outerwear became unfashionable before 1425, with one exception. Cotehardies, with or without sideless surcoats, remained fashionable for women, as regal ceremonial garments, until well into the 16th century.  When the houpelande went out of fashion, the cotehardie for women briefly re-emerged, with slight changes, as the kirtle (\u003ca

Originally a version of the tunic (\u003ca href=\"%%GLOBAL_ShopPathSSL%%\/tunics\/\"\u003eMM016\u003c\/a\u003e). Cotehardies differed in sleeve cut, variations, and tailor fit.  Men's cotehardies, worn long or short, were initially tight to the hips, with long tight sleeves.
