A surcoat with tippets (coudières, or helles) is a garment worn over a tunic between 1340 and 1360.
The term cotte-hardie is sometimes used to name this surcoat.
It has a central opening with buttons, several gores below the belt to give fullness, and short sleeves extending into a band of fabric called a tippet (coudière or helles).
The tippets are lined with white silk by default, whatever type of lining you choose.
Prices are given for a garment with a maximum length of 110 cm.
