Surcote: also known as the surcoat or super-tunic; a secondary tunic worn over an under tunic, usually more elaborately decorated.
Here is a woman wearing a green tunic, with a sleeveless reddish surcote layered over it.
Here is a man wearing a long tunic, with a shorter, decorated surcote over it.

Oh, I always thought the tunic was the shorter garment.
It could be for the men, but it could be an ankle length garment as well.
