    Note: Our 15th century shirt is not meant to fit closely in the chest. The chest measurements given are that of the shirt itself so you should choose a size that is somewhat bigger than your actual chest measurement. Typically, we recommend the shirt be 2-4″ bigger than your chest measurement for a comfortable fit.

    Only available in White Linen.

     The Shift to joined hose not only affected braies, but also altered the shirt as well. Until this time, the shirt had been worn loose, just like the tunic, supertunic, cotte and cotehardie it had accompanied over the centuries. Shirts had already tapered and shrunk with the introduction of fitted garments in the later 1300s, but pointing the hose and doublet directly together required an even shorter under garment that could be worn inside the hose.

    We have based our shirt on several different artistic representations from the period 1410 – 1450, and have incorporated the key elements of a closer fit, small side-slits, longer sleeves that gather about the wrist and a stand up collar just the perfect height to show above the doublet collar (as shown in countless period illustrations). Made of a high quality linen that is lighter weight than our 14th c. men’s shirts, our 15th c. shirt is designed specifically for our 15th century line, this shirt provides comfort and mobility, without causing any unflattering bunching or bulges beneath the doublet or hose. When worn with the doublet, the stand-up collar provides a finished, layering look that is archetypal of the period. When working about camp or on hot, sticky days, you can wear the shirt without the doublet and be both comfortable, and still have a distinctly 15th century look.

    When worn under the tunic and/or supertunic of the period, this shirt would have all but disappeared from view, except perhaps at the collar. Fortunately, the shirt of this time well represented in surviving artwork. This version of our shirt is lighter weight, a bit shorter and more closely tailored than our 14th Century Shirt and has a simple collar. It’s made of 100% mid-weight 5.5 oz linen and is ideal for use as an under-layer for civilian and arming clothes. For a more generously cut, heavy weight version of the medieval shirt see our 14th Century Shirt.

    Throughout the Middle Ages clothes were worn in layers, with a light linen tunic forming the foundation over which additional linen or wool garments were worn. The exact nature of these earliest garments is unknown, but by the 13th century, they had evolved into a simple, relatively short, white linen shirt. The shirt went through subtle, but important changes in the century that followed, as it evolved to conform to the new, closer-fitting outer garments of mens fashion. Worn with chausses and braies, this ubiquitous shirt forms the foundational dress of medieval man, from duke to cotter.

    When worn under the tunic and/or supertunic of the period, this shirt would have all but disappeared from view, except perhaps at the collar.

    Throughout the Middle Ages clothes were worn in layers, with a light linen tunic forming the foundation over which additional linen or wool garments were worn. The exact nature of these earliest garments is unknown, but by the 13th century, they had evolved into a simple, relatively short, white linen shirt. When worn under the tunic and supertunic of the period, this shirt would have all but disappeared from view, except perhaps at the collar. Fortunately, not only is the shirt of this time well represented in surviving artwork, but a single piece, believed to be that of Saint Louis (King Louis IX of France), survives in a remarkably preserved condition. Much like this extant garment our shirt is quite substantial and generously sized. Made of heavyweight, 7.5 oz linen, this version of our shirt has a ‘keyhole’ neckline. For a more fitted, lighter weight version of the medieval shirt see our 14th Century Lightweight Shirt.

    The shirt went through subtle, but important changes in the century that followed, as it evolved to conform to the new, closer-fitting outer garments of mens fashion. Beginning with the St. Louis shirt as a reference, we have based our shirt on contemporary artwork, to produce a garment that maintains all of the key elements of the period. Made of a heavy-weight, white linen, the body of the shirt is cut like that of the cotte and is specifically designed to be worn with it. The shirt has a keyhole neckline which can show from under the cotte and can be worn open or closed with a broach. Worn with chausses and braies, this ubiquitous shirt forms the foundational dress of medieval man, from duke to cotter.
