Mandilion
A mandilion or mandelion is a loose men's hip-length pullover coat or jacket, open down the sides, worn in England in late sixteenth century.
It was fashionable to wear the mandilion colly-westonward or Colley-Weston-ward, that is, rotated 90 degrees so that the front and back were draped over the arms and the sleeves hung down in front and behind.
Why the fashion was named after the small village of Collyweston in Northamptonshire remains uncertain.
Another pronunciation of the fashion is "coley-westwards".
See Chaperon for a similar development in the medieval hood-turned-hat.
