‘The old English phrase mid twifealdum is a glossing Latin of diploid (‘a double garment’), which suggests that the mentel could be double, either in the sense that they were sometimes lined, or that these names were applied to a type of luxurious cloak which was so large that it was folded double, lengthwise, round the body before being secured by its brooch at the shoulder, like the ancient cloaks’ [OWEN-CROCKER 2004: p.238] <br>
In other words they may have still been wearing the fold over cloak that was popular 500 years previously. }}<br>
