Medieval Cotton Tunic with Long Sleeves and V-Neck
Historical Context and Usage
The simple T-shaped tunic was the most common garment worn by men across Europe from the Dark Ages through the High Middle Ages. For Vikings, Saxons, and early medieval commoners, it served as the primary outer garment, typically worn belted at the waist. In later centuries, it functioned as an undertunic or chemise, worn beneath woollen layers or armour.
Designed for both practicality and authenticity, this replica features a loose cut with side slits at the hem, allowing for unrestricted movement whether you are running, kneeling, or fighting. The classic V-slit neckline is historically accurate and easy to wear. The full-length sleeves provide essential coverage, protecting your arms from the sun or chafing armour.
