| Tabard | Variants: Tabard, Tabert | A coat without sleeves, whereon the armorial ensigns were anciently depicted, from whence the term Coat of Arms. The Tabard with wide sleeves reaching to the elbow is now used as a habit of ceremony, being embroidered with the Royal Arms, worn by Heralds and Pursuivants upon great festivals and other public ceremonies. See Tunic. | |
