jupon A surcoat. The name jupon is chiefly
applied to the short tight form of that military garment in use in the
14th century. It was a sleeveless jacket or overcoat, composed of
several thicknesses of material sewed through, and faced with silk or
velvet, upon which were embroidered the arms of the wearer. It fitted
closely to the body, and, descending below the hips, terminated in an
enriched border of various patterns.
