Azure Journey Through Time: Ludwig Medieval Shirt with Lacing

Design and Craftsmanship

The shirt is made from 100% fine cotton, ensuring it remains breathable even during intense physical activity. A standout feature is the laced neckline, finished with decorative wooden beads for a rustic touch. The front and back yokes, as well as the sleeves, are heavily ruffled to create the voluminous silhouette typical of the period. The cuffs are also gathered, allowing the sleeves to be worn comfortably under a doublet or gambeson without restricting your movement.

Historical Context and Usage

This style is inspired by garments from the Late Middle Ages to the Early Modern period (roughly 14th to 16th century). During this time, the shirt transitioned into a piece of clothing that showcased material wealth through elaborate pleating. Blue was a popular color, historically achieved using woad dye. This shirt is an ideal base for characters in historical reenactment, theater, or fantasy settings.

Care and Safety

Machine wash at 40°C (104°F) on a delicate cycle. This product is not suitable for tumble drying as natural cotton may shrink. Iron on a medium setting. Warning: Cotton is highly flammable. Exercise extreme caution when near campfires, candles, or torches.

We recommend pairing this shirt with a sturdy leather belt and medieval trousers to complete your look. Please note that only the shirt is included; other items shown in the photos are sold separately.
