Assassin's Creed Lionheart Surcoat
In the days of the Crusades, most knights wore surcoats as protection against the sun as well as a form of identification on the battlefield.
The shining lions on this surcoat identify the man wearing it as one of Richard the Lionheart's knights, for example. Since the award-winning "Assassin's Creed" video game is set during the Third Crusade, you will often see this distinctive surcoat in the course of the game. Surcoats are typically sleeveless, and our original Assassin's Creed Lionheart surcoat is no exception. It is made of 100 percent cotton with armholes edged in wide, golden trim. Below the hips, this original Assassin's Creed surcoat is slit for more freedom of movement – on horseback and on foot.

Besides the balanced suspension, this belt presents a swashbuckling appearance.
