The favorable reception which the Society of Antiquaries has been pleased to give to my paper on the Body-armour antiently worn in England, induces me through your means to lay before them some remarks on those parts of military Costume which were worn with it. The subject however is one of considerable difficulty, because several of the garments greatly resembled one another, and because they were worn sometimes under the hauberk, and sometimes without as armour themselves. On this account Strutt and other writers on the subject have considered them as the same, or confounded them one with another. It would be presumption therefore in me to speak positively in this attempt at elucidation, so that all I shall advance will be offered as conjecture.
