Linen waxed laces
Lace made of a linen cord waxed with beeswax (the cord is not braided by hand) and 2 brass points. Used for the equipment of a man in armour according to an English manuscript of 1450: Hastings MS. [f.122b].

Banner
The gonfanon banner appears in texts from the 11th century, but it is depicted as early as the 9th-10th
century in the St Omer Bible.
In 13th century sources it appears to be attached by laces to the shaft of a lance. In the 14th and 15th centuries the laces seem to be used less, the staff seems to be inserted in the banner.
The gonfanon is characterised by its axis at right angles to the staff.
I make these banners in linen, most often with applied designs (fabric cut then sewn), or when there is more detail by painting.

Coat of arms 13th century
The coat of arms is a military surcoat worn over the armour. It is also called "tabard",but as soon as a heraldic emblem is present, the term coat of arms seems more appropriate.

They are mostly sleeveless but there are some representations with short sleeves.

Coat of arms14th century
The coat of arms is a military surcoat that one puts on over one's armour.
It evolves a lot during the 14th century.
At the beginning we find the 13th century style, then it becomes more and more fitted on the bust and ends up being shortened until the top of the thighs.
Some are slit at the front and back, still wide at the bottom around 1350, they become tighter thereafter.
They can be opened in front or on one side with buttons or lacing.
Often depicted sleeveless or with short sleeves, rarer are the long sleeves imitating the shape of the houppelandes at the end of the 14th century.
