tabard

And the tabard look was very fashionable lace tabard to go in to a train.

Chaucer's famous circle of story-tellers at the Tabard Inn in Southwark was eminently democratic.

None, however, could boast such an association as that which throws its halo round the “Tabard.”

Southwark's Tabard Inn exists to-day, in name if not in spirit, and it was easy enough to take it for our starting-point.

The tabard was an embroidered surcoat—that is, a surcoat on which was displayed the heraldic device of the owner.

Obviously, however, a tabard requires other clothing to be worn with it.
