Robe as an outer historical clothing

According to former fashion, this medieval dress was popular in 14th and 15th century. Just like houppelande, medieval robe was put on a doublet and worn as an outer historical clothing. However, unlike the houppelande, it wasn't used only as a court clothing. Robe was more general-purpose, worn both as an "official" medieval dress and work clothing.

An example of medieval rouba can be found in "Livre de chasse" ("The Hunting Book"). It was written by Gaston III, known as Gaston Phoebus.

Usually a robe is a long and spacious dress which is more useful than a court fashion. A robe was used in the 14th and 15th century.
