The Houppelande was an ample draped medieval outer garment, similar to a tunic, and worn during the middle ages. It’s height of fashion was in the mid 14th century to early fifteenth century. Mainly a male garment, the Houppelande was worn by both men and women. These medieval garments were very full and usually belted in the middle to form pleating. Houppelandes were made from many lengths between the knee to ground level with front or side openings and many different style arms. Usually made from rich fabrics with contrasting lining the sleeves were large with dagged edges.

The Hood was know as a chaperon. The chaperon was a form of hood which was a highly versatile hat worn in all parts of Western Europe in the Middle Ages. Initially a utilitarian garment, it first grew a long partly decorative tail behind called a liripipe, and then developed into a complex, versatile and expensive headgear after what was originally the vertical opening for the face began to be used as a horizontal opening for the head. It was especially fashionable in mid-15th century Burgundy, before gradually falling out of fashion in the late 15th century and returning to its utilitarian status.
