Cotte

A cotte  is a type of medieval tunic that was worn by both men and women during the Middle Ages. It was a loose-fitting garment made from wool or linen, with long sleeves and a knee-length or ankle-length hem. The cotte simple was typically belted at the waist to create a more fitted silhouette. It was a versatile garment that could be worn as both an undergarment and an outer garment, depending on the occasion and the weather. The cotte simple was often decorated with embroidery or other embellishments, particularly around the neckline and cuffs. It was a practical and comfortable garment that was widely worn by people of all social classes during the medieval period.
