A short sleeveless cloak or jacket worn in medieval times; a variant spelling of cabanet.
From Old French 'caban,' possibly of uncertain origin but possibly related to Spanish garments. It appears in medieval English texts describing clothing.
Medieval fashion was wild—a 'caban' was practical armor-adjacent wear that knights and soldiers could throw on quickly, making it perfect for the chaos of medieval life.
