Shirt Bartholomew Shirt Bartholomew is a relaxed-fit, adjustable, and classic piece of 13th- to 16th-century apparel, perfect for LARP, reenactment, or any costume featuring the late Middle Ages or early Renaissance. Designed to suit a range of characters and events, this casual-fit shirt is part of Epic Armoury's Yoremade line, where historical expertise crosses with everyday practicality. With a crumpled 100% cotton make-up, baggy sleeves, and tie strings at the wrists and neck, the Bartholomew offers you freedom of movement, excellent ventilation, and a look that feels genuinely vintage. Whether layering it under a doublet or wearing it alone while camping, it's a shirt designed to make you comfortable while looking the part. Inspired by the 13th to 16th Century Clothing Based on real attire from the 1300s to 1600s, the Bartholomew takes us back to an era where shirts were beginning to become loose-fitting and ruffled at the arms. This would have been worn by everyone, regardless of class, from scholars and tradesmen to craftsmen and pages. The clasped wrists and open neckline evoke the kind of Renaissance shirt that is ubiquitous in portraits and woodcuts of the time. And since it is intended to be worn over something, it drapes nicely under robes, tunics, jerkins, and so on, allowing you to create an outfit that is both versatile and tailored. Features That Make a Difference Crinkled cotton fabric: Lightweight, soft, and breathable, ideal for marathon exposure at an event or warmer climates. Tie strings at cuff and neck opening: Loose and casual or sharply defined to suit your personality or your mood. Loose design with loose-fitting sleeves: Easy to move in and suitable for a wide range of body types. 100% natural cotton: Soft on the skin and easy to care for, simply toss it in the wash after the event. Works across styles: Use it for late medieval or Renaissance looks, from 14th-century peasants to 16th-century poets. Every feature is designed to serve a purpose, not just for aesthetic appeal, but also for the way you move, wear, and live in the shirt. A Layer That Adds Life to Your Costume The Shirt Bartholomew is made for characters in motion. It’s perfect for early morning scenes at camp, quiet moments by the window, or long days under the sun. You might wear it under armor as your base layer or throw it on for a relaxed look between battles. It feels just as natural in the noble’s hall as it does in the tavern kitchen. For LARPers, it’s the kind of shirt that supports rather than defines your look. For reenactors, it checks the box of historical plausibility without sacrificing ease of use. And for fair-goers, it brings authenticity without the weight. Easy to wear. Easy to love. The Shirt Bartholomew is your go-to layer for 14th- to 16th-century outfits, designed for comfort, built with care, and ready for adventure. Available in sizes XS/S, M/L, XL/2XL and 3XL/4XL
