The medieval shirt

For a knight tournament, I decided to sew adequate cloths…namely a shirt and trousers.

On the internet I found a few simple basic templates for my project:

I took the shirt idea from [Corvin] http://home.arcor.de/Warlock0/Leitfaden%20zur%20ersten%20Gewandung.pdf, on page 7 and the trousers from here: http://www.weltdeslarp.de/jalindro/hose.html.

The fabrics I found in a local branch of a big Swedish furniture store. They offer a lot of different fabrics,  charged by weight(!), self service and reasonable priced. For the shirt I found a linen looking cotton fabric and for the trousers….yes I think it’s proposed for curtains, but looks also great for medieval trousers.
