The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute: 2009.300.3886.]] A pelerine is a small cape-like garment that covers the shoulders, similar to a fichu. Historically, the pelerine possibly originated in a type of 15th century armor padding that protected the neck and shoulders by itself, if the padded fabric was reinforced internally with metal, and/or acted as padding between armor and the skin in the neck-to-shoulder region. The pelerine often had fasteners so that pauldrons could be attached.
