Medieval saddle pad cover (long)
Long saddle pad cover (not padded) in wool with linen or cotton lining.
Slits on each side for the passage of the saddle girth.
Can be installed over a modern saddle pad or without.
Used from the 13th to the 15th century in civil but not military contexts.
To my knowledge, no representations for men in the 13th century.
