In the later medieval period, clothing for men changed, hem lines became shorter and a new garment called the doublet was introduced.  The doublet later developed into the jacket that we still wear today.

Long over-garments were still popular, but now they became split up the front to form a long coat. 

Jackets and coats take longer to make than earlier medieval clothing and are therefore more expensive.

Below are some of the coats and jackets we have made in the past.
