Is there a word for that flag-like thing draped over medieval heralds? For example, the green thing that this figure is wearing or the white-with-giant-polka-dots thing that the old man in this picture is wearing.

Thanks.

Yes, it seems that a tabard is what I am looking for. Thanks.

Though... the lego guy could also be either a) completely historically inaccurate, or b) wearing a short surcoat or jupon, which is very similar. Pretty sure the old guy's wearing a tabard, though. :D
Looks like a tabard to me, too. (nm) by Phobos on 2014-06-13 14:25:00 UTC Reply
