Parti-Colored.—The cote-hardie and tights were parti-colored, that is, half the body was dressed in one color, the other half in another; frequently both colors appeared in stripes on one leg. The cote-hardie, always belted at the waist, where a pouch containing a dagger dangled, was of various lengths; a lappet hung from the arm. Long and short capes edged and collared with fur were buttoned at the neck.

Pourpoint/wams (germ.) Originally a coat armour, substituting in this function the cotte d'armes for a while in the fourteenth century. it was tight, fitting, cut without sleeves and was shorter than the hauberk worn under it. Later on several other variations of it hasd developed, no longer worn as coat armours.

The Dagged Fashion.—This (also known as foliated) appeared on all garments in 1346 and was promptly condemned by the clergy. These "dagges" were made by cutting away the material of the garment to form leaves, etc., about its edges.

The Liripipe.—The peak of the hood grew so long that it hung to the floor, requiring knots to be tied in it. This appendage became known as the "liripipe" and was often wound about the head with the end tucked in, or draped across the shoulders.
