Product description
The chaperon became a popular piece of clothing during the High Middle Ages, though it had already been worn from the Early Middle Ages. It protects the head, neck, back and shoulders from cold weather and rain, and is particularly well-suited to sleeping in during a camp or festival. During the High Middle Ages, the chaperon was a popular item of clothing amongst all classes in society. The upper classes wore chaperons in expensive colours such as blue, red and purple, whilst the lower classes wore it in bright yet cheap colours such as green and yellow. In the Late Middle Ages, it was most often worn by the lower classes and was worn in more alternative ways. It was also crafted in more sober colours at this time.
The chaperon is based on clothing fragments found at Skjoldehamm. The fabric is woven into a herringbone pattern — a commonly employed fabric for centuries.
