The coat of arms is a military surcoat worn over one’s armour.
It is also called a tabard, but as soon as there are heraldic arms the term coat of arms seems more appropriate.
In the 13th century, coats of arms are quite long, at knee or even calf height, and have a central slit at the front and back.
