People wore jerkins like this one during the Late Middle Ages. This jerkin not only serves as padding to be worn underneath armor, it also makes a handsome outer tunic when worn over a shirt or tunic and breeches.

This sleeveless version in classic black is made of 100% cotton ribbed velveteen. It is completely padded to make it especially comfortable to wear. The row of functioning buttons goes from the base of the collar to the hips and fastens this black jerkin securely. In combination with its skirt, this form-fitting, elegant garment is cut to emphasize broad, masculine shoulders and dashing sleeves.

100% cotton.

"Not to us, O Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory." Psalm 115 was the motto of the Templar Knights, an order that was established in the wake of the first Crusade. Combining the ideals of noble knights and religious monks was as much of a historical innovation as the Crusades themselves were. The battling Christians were highly visible on account of their white surcoats, which had contrasting red crosses pattee over their hearts.

Our reproduction is historically accurate. The single red cross pattee really stands out on the background of sturdy, white 100 percent cotton. This sleeveless surcoat has slits below the hips and includes a braided belt of brown wool (not shown).

Surcoat only. Does not include other accessories shown.

This hard wearing accessory of genuine black leather is decorated with a row of metal studs in a heraldic flower look.

Certain professions require special garb. For example, bowmen need garb they can bend and stretch their arms in. Our green tunic with a matching hood is designed to provide exactly the required freedom of movement.

The tunic with elbow-length, slit sleeves and the hood – which drapes over your shoulders – are both made of very sturdy fabric: green cotton in a textured weave with gold & black trim. This ensemble would also be perfect for foresters (or outlaws) who want to blend in with the forest they are caring for.

Due to its extreme length, this medieval leather belt is a historically accurate complement to most tunics, long shirts, and surcoats. It can even be combined with a sword frog.

Our red belt with Maltese cross ornamentation has a total length of approx. 178 cm. Its unusually long length can be explained by the way they used to fasten their belts in the Middle Ages. After buckling the belt at the front, as a rule, a loop was firmly knotted around the buckle. The resulting belt end would be left to hang down the centre.

This belt is made of genuine, red leather, is five centimetres wide, and is decorated with Maltese crosses made of brass.
