Cyclas (garment)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The cyclas is an unfitted rectangle of cloth with an opening for the head that was worn in Europe in the Middle Ages.

Sleeveless overgowns or tabards derive from the cyclas. By the early 14th century, the sides began to be sewn together, creating a sleeveless overgown or surcoat.[1]
