Halloween Clothing

One of the purposes of overcoats was to identify the wearer as a knight. The Templar Order sergeants used to wear a black coat with red cross. Due to the Templar´s rules, the cross should be visible in both sides to identify sergeants from other orders members.

Other uses of the overcoat were to protect knights from the inclemency of the weather as crusader knights sometimes suffocated because of the overheating of their chainmail. It´s known that overcoats even saved the life of their wearer as it is said in the chronicle that narrates how an arrow wound up in the cloth which slowed down its speed.
