In civilian life a jerkin could protect them against cold; but most commonly it was worn by soldiers since the thick and stuffed vests provided cheap protection against blows and a little protection against swords, daggers and arrows. Knights would wear it under their armor, as wearing iron next to the skin is not very comfortable. Also, the jerkin prevented the ringlets of chain mail to get forced into a wound if it was sustained in battle and offered extra protection under the chain mail.
