Only in the mid 14th century, the upper tunic was replaced by pourpoint - kinda short jacket with narrow sleeves, which was initially worn by knights under the armor, but later became a part of a casual medieval costume. Both nobles and common folks wore surcoats and tabards - long sleeveless cover-ups of rectangular shape with a hole for the head, which could be unsewn at the sides. With the appearance of the feudal crests, colors of the men's costume echoed the colouring of his feudal's coat of arms. Starting from the 12th century, tunics were getting longer, narrower at the shoulders and wider at the bottom due to gores sewn into the side seams. Outerwear was represented by a short semicircular cloak fastened at a shoulder, which transformed into a long one later and became known as ‘mantelet' in the Charlemagne era and the Carolingians. A distinctive feature of the medieval male costume were pants that could be long, relatively narrow trousers or tightly fitting chausses like a tricot. ![]() Short tunics were still worn by peasants and young people. Initially, both of them were hip length, but from the mid 9th century their bottoms extended and reached the very floor.

Two tunics worn girded one over the other formed the basis of the early medieval costumes.
