Mens Vintage Short Sleeve Renaissance Shirt

Perfect costume shirt! Fit my husband and was comfortable and looked great!

I really like this shirt. It is light weight and easy to take care of...pretty much wash, line dry, and wear. I enjoy the openness of the neck, so the shirt is relatively cool. It is easy to put on although I do need to be careful in taking it off simply because of my shoulder width. You might want to get the next size up if you have wider shoulders. I like the neutral color. it works with just about any of the shorts I own...and I don't have to worry about buttons coming off!

VIKINGS!!! The only reason I give 4 stars is the thin leather lace; but I get what I paid for. The shirt is 100% cotton and a little stiff; with the proper steps to stretch the cotton will loosen up the cotton to make it flexible. I this day and age we are use to polyester and flexibility. Back then all they had was wool, cotton, or other natural fibers. They managed just fine. I am surprised for the price I paid about the quality of work put into the shirt. Aside from the lace they took their time on the quality of work. Strong stitching and simple design for the shirt. I ordered a large and fit like a large; but due to being 100% cotton I have to keep in mind shrinkage over time. I usually wear large in shirts and may go a step up in size depending on how much the shirt shrinks over time. A lot of comments say the shirt runs small; the only way I see this is due to the shrinkage I mentioned. The shirt comes laced with wood beads. Later I plan to replace the beads with runic beads of either brown, silver, or black design. As for care; there are a few ways to stretch the cotton to make it flexible. Use a steamer and once you can feel the cotton start to give stretch the shirt. Find a way to keep it stretched out as it dries; this will aid in giving the shirt its flexibility. When the shirt gets dirty wash in cold water this will prevent shrinkage. Also recommend using natural soap to prevent damage to the shirt. Otherwise it should be fine if you ran it through the Gauntlet like many others do. Just use cold water of your shirt will shrink. Also air dry only; the dryer will aid in the shrinkage. The shirt isn't really soft but natural fibers normally are not soft. Though the shirt is breathable, (at least to me) comfortable, and will keep you warm. I hope this review helps you. TILL VALHALLA Brothers & Sisters!

I had to order a size larger than I wear and it is still slightly snug across the chest. Otherwise as expected

I bought this for my husband to wear to the Renaissance faire in Maryland in September. It fit him great and at least his torso looked the part! I did wash it before he wore it, and I had to iron it, but I didn’t notice any shrinkage.

Soft and VERY breathable!! Looks very authentic!! Son wore it to an outside Renaissance Faire in the heat of summer and wasn't melting and wanting to change. He loves it and looking forward to many Renaissance faires

Small sizing and an itchy fabric. Fit well enough to the event but not a keeper of a shirt. Need to size up and use tons of fabric softener.

Size as expected
