Medieval Cotton Shirt 'Fencer', Natural Colour, with Fabric Buttons
Authentic Design and Quality Material
The shirt is crafted from 100% natural, undyed cotton that is strong yet soft to the touch and breathable. You'll appreciate this especially during all-day wear under armour or on hot summer days at festivals. Its cut is inspired by garments from the early to high medieval periods and features several authentic details:
- Fabric Buttons: The neck slit fastens with fabric-covered buttons, a detail typical of historical clothing.
- Drawstring Cuffs: The wide, gathered sleeves are finished with a cuff featuring a channel and drawstring, allowing you to tighten them as needed.
- Loose Fit: The comfortable, roomy cut ensures unrestricted movement, whether you're swinging a sword or enjoying yourself at a market. The shirt is spacious enough for easy layering.
A Versatile Wardrobe Essential
This historical shirt is incredibly versatile. You can wear it as a base layer under a tunic, gambeson, doublet, or cuirass. It looks equally great worn on its own, cinched with a simple leather belt. It is an absolutely indispensable piece for any fencer, adventurer, knight, mercenary, as well as for a craftsman or a common townsman.
A Glimpse into History
The shirt (Latin: camisia) was the basic undergarment for men across all social classes for centuries. It protected more expensive outer garments from sweat and dirt and provided basic comfort. While the wealthy could afford fine, bleached linen, a shirt made of coarser fabric in a natural, undyed colour was typical for common folk, soldiers, and artisans. The voluminous sleeves were not just a matter of fashion but provided maximum freedom of movement for work or combat.
How to Care for Your Shirt
To ensure your shirt serves you well for a long time and retains its natural texture and colour:
- Machine wash cold (30-40°C) with like colours.
- Avoid bleach and harsh chemical cleaners.
- Line dry or tumble dry on a low setting.
- Iron on a medium setting if needed.
- Do not dry clean.
