tabard is shorter and doesnt have sleeves, surcoat may or may not have sleeves, tabard may be open sided.....what you have is a surcoat...

Hey, maybe some improvement ideas I have noticed. It was not very common to wear a padded gambeson UNDER a maille shirt. Gambesons in this time were mostly single pieces of armour so you would wear either a gambeson or a maille shirt. A linen shirt and a thick wool overcoat were usually enough for a maille shirt to sit comfortably. The gambeson you showed also has buckles which is more of a modern reproduction thing. 12th century gambesons were pull over shirt pieces without any front opening. Later they started to develope cloth buttons or lacing (for example the famous pourpoint of Charles de Blois). Talking about the maille in the 12th century it was more common to see full sleeve length Haubergeons with an integrated mitten covering the hands and sometimes an integrated coif. Maille hosen were also already thing especially in the later half of the 12th century. Maybe some hauberks were still used depending on what region a crusader came from, but wealthy knights could usually afford a full haubergeon. You asked about the surcoat you wear. So the red cross over black ground is usually associated with a knights order. For example the Knights Templar, the Knights Hospitaller, the Order of Saint James, Teutonic Order etc. I sadly don't know which Order a red cross over black belongs to tho. But it has nothing to do with any ranks in the army. As far as I know for identification it was more common to wear knee length surcoats in a single colour on the battlefield. If you need a good inspiration for 13th century armour and clothing (I know its 100 years later but a lot of the depictions are nearly identical to what was also worn in the late 12th century) you can look up the Morgan Bible. The entire manuscript is free to look at online with beautiful and colourful illustrations.

Ty!!!! This may just be my favorite all time comment. And a lot of these I did consider. Especially the Morgan Bible!! And the thing about the Gambeson I did not think much about. But most of this was just what I had. But TYSM!! It means a lot!
