Hawkins Sailor’s Jacket - Wool
This short jacket is surely the advanced development of a medieval jerkin: the missing collar, broad cut of the shoulders and hip length, straight cut all support that argument. But this jacket is made of brown wool, and the sleeves have wide cuffs. They are even short enough to show foamy lace shirt cuffs. Let's call this brown wool jacket "Baroque" instead, which means it is the perfect apparel for adventure at sea. Shiny metal buttons close the front and decorate the cuffs as the perfect period accent.

Titus Pullo Roman Legionary Doublings
Our Roman Legionary Doublings are out-of-license replica of the armour worn by the Legionary Titus Pullo in the hit HBO series “Rome”. They are manufactured by Windlass Steelcrafts who produced many of the props for the original series.
Soldiers who wore lorica hamatas (mail shirts) would add extra protection to their shoulders. They placed a U-shaped collar of leather or mail called "doublings" over their shoulders and attached the ends to their mail with four rivets. At the front, the ends were secured with a cord (later, with a large metal hook). Although legionaries wore lorica hamatas from the early Republic until the fall of Rome, doublings went out of fashion toward the end of the 1st century A.D.
Our legionary doublings are made of blackened iron rings with a thick leather backing.
