Men's Woolen Cotehardie "Charles de Blois" – 14th Century Pourpoint
Historical Inspiration: The Pourpoint of Charles de Blois
This model is based on one of the rarest textile finds of the Middle Ages – the quilted pourpoint of Charles de Blois (c. 1364), housed in a museum in Lyon. Our version is adapted as a fashionable outer garment (it is not padded like armor), but retains key aesthetic elements:
- "Grande Assiette" Sleeves: This is a masterpiece of medieval tailoring. The armhole is cut deep into the body of the garment, forming a large arc. This ensures that you can raise your arms above your head (e.g., when fencing) without the entire cotehardie riding up and exposing your midriff.
- Cloth Buttons: The front fastens with a dense row of fabric-covered buttons, a typical feature of 14th-century fashion.
- Fitted Cut: The garment follows the body's silhouette and emphasizes the male chest, exactly as the fashion of the time dictated.
Material and Comfort
The selected burgundy (maroon) wool looks very noble and historically accurate. Since it is recycled wool, you are saving the environment without compromising on quality. The 100% cotton lining ensures that the cotehardie does not scratch and is comfortable to wear even over a thin undershirt.
