Medieval Knight's Shirt Götz, black
This straight cut shirt is a classic of medieval clothing. It is very versatile and for example ideal for the portrayal of a craftsman or knight. It has a collar, a wide double shoulder yoke and wooden buttons at the neckline and cuffs. The back is slightly longer than the front so it doesn't slip out of the trousers while working.
The shirt is equally suitable as an outer garment or as an undershirt.
Historically, shirts did not come into fashion until the late Middle Ages, when trousers began to get tighter and tops shorter. In the Renaissance, the shirt had eventually evolved into an essential piece of clothing.

This medieval shirt is part of Battle-Merchant's line of period clothing and medieval garments for men, women and children. From the first sketch to the last stitch, this garment was planned, designed and handcrafted with particular attention to detail. Our clothes are modeled (sometimes accurately, sometimes less so) on historical examples, grave finds and original museum pieces where they exist. We always endeavour to keep the necessary adjustments to today's standards, e.g. in terms of size and manufacturing process, to a minimum. Just see for yourself!
