history
The goller was often fastened under the armpits with a goller chain. In the 14th century the collar part of the Gugel was called Goller. After that it was part of many bourgeois women's costumes until the 18th century . B. in the Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland (see also → Göller ). It was partly decorated with velvet and fur , lavishly adorned with braids , pearls and fine embroidery or made entirely of lace and served, from around 1500 to around 1630, to protect the female décolleté from sunlight. Then the goller got bigger and sewn together under the armpits, so that it developed into a kind of sleeveless jacket .
Gollers made of leather or other sturdier materials have been used as part of armor since the late 15th century ; in the 17th century it was developed into a leather armor for cavalry and infantry (see also: Koller (uniform) ).
