The surcoat originated in the medieval period as a loose-fitting garment worn over armor, primarily for practical reasons. It provided protection from the elements and prevented the metal armor from chafing the skin. Surcoats often displayed the wearer's heraldic symbols, serving as a means of identification during battles and tournaments. The style evolved over time, becoming a fashionable outer garment in later centuries.
