Also spelled cote-hardy and cote-hardie.

A form of outer tunic worn by men and women during the Middle Ages, found in different forms in different countries. the cotehardie was a development? of the super coat with a lower neck, tighter fit, and buttons down the front. ^[1] In France it was either a short outerwear garment with long sleeves or an outergarment that opened in front and buttoned down the sides. In England it was an outergarment that buttoned, was fitted to the waist, and then flared in a skirt to the knee. The sleeves were elbow-length and ended with flaps of various lengths.

As a woman's garment it was a close-fitting overdress that laced up the front or the back. The sleeves were long and tight, and the skirt had fitchets, or slits, in the sides. Some say the cotehardie was introduced by Anne, wife of Richard II of England. ^[2]

The cotehardie was replaced in men's fashion by the jacket or jerkin. ^[3]

verbatim A variant of the surcote, or outer tunic, for men. The same term seems to have had different applications in different countries. In France, it was identified as either a short garment with long sleeves for outdoor wear, at first simple and later more elegant and fur-trimmed; a gown; or an outergarment open in front and buttoned at the sides. In England it was a buttoned outergarment fitted through the body to the waist or below where it flared into a usually knee-length skirt. The sleeves ended at the elbow in front while hanging down at the back in a shorter or longer flap. With time, some versions of this garment became quite decorative. A decorative belt was often worn low on the hip. Woman's close-fitting dresslike garment of same period, made of rich fabric and laced up back or front. Had long tight sleeves and slits in sides of skirt called fitchets. Said to have been introduced by Anne, wife of Richard II of England.
