The Rodrigo Cotehardie is a historical garment typical of the Late Middle Ages, ideal for adding structure to the costume of a character of medium to high social status in LARP. Made of sturdy cotton, this long doublet features a buttoned front closure and a fitted cut that flatters the figure. Its long sleeves and thigh-length cut make it a perfect centerpiece to wear on its own or layered with a belt and accessories.
