Long saddle blanket (not padded), lined with linen.
Slits on each side for the girth to pass through.
Can be placed over a modern saddle pad, its size being designed to cover it.
Used from the 13th to the 15th century in civilian, non-military contexts. Probably to protect long garments from the horse’s sweat and hair.
To my knowledge, no depictions for men in the 13th century.
