A couple of features on the new late 14th Century Cotte/Cotehardie I recently completed. Unlike the clothing earlier in the century, by the late 1300's, these coats had become so insanely fitted that one could barely move in it, with one commentator from the period saying that when men took them off, they looked akin to being skinned alive, rather than disrobed.
The coat has 48 hand-sewn cloth buttons and buttonholes, as well as rounded armhole sleeves, arm gores and as made from woad-dyed blue 2/2 wool twill.
