A historical type of sleeveless garment or tunic worn over armor in medieval times.
From Old French 'auberge' or directly related to 'albergare' meaning to shelter. The garment protected armor from the elements.
Medieval warriors needed fashion too—the alberge was basically a practical rain jacket for your expensive metal suit, but it became so standardized that it's one of the most recognizable pieces of military wear!
