A herigaut is a gown-like garment worn in the thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries. [1] Alternative spellings include herigald, heregaud, gerygoud and herigans. [1] It was three-quarters to full length with hanging sleeves. [1] Sometimes the sleeves were tucked at the top to increase fullness below. [2] Although it was primarily a men's garment, women occasionally wore it as well. [2] Along with the garnache, it is a variant of the garde-corps, [3] and it is also related to the houppelande. [4]
