Journade (France) or Giornea (Italy) is a sideless overgown or tabard.^[1] It was usually pleated and was worn hanging loose or belted. Young men wore them short and older men wore them calf- or ankle-length.

The Complete Costume Dictionary by Elizabeth J. Lewandowski describes the journade as a "short, circular garment worn for riding. Initially it had large, full sleeves and later it had long, slit sleeves."
