Tristan Vest – Blue

NOTE THIS DESIGN RUNS SMALL. IF YOU ARE BETWEEN CLOTHING SIZES, CHOOSE ONE SIZE LARGER THAN USUAL.

In the court of your king, you have an important role to play. You look the part of a scribe and a trusted member of the council, dressed in your fine Tristan Vest.

Your days are filled with tedious paperwork and etiquette, but the work is important and you are pleased to serve. However, lately it has come to your attention that a scandal between the royal prince and an enemy’s daughter might be afoot. For some unknown reason the pressure has been placed upon you to fix things. The stress is unimaginable.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Vest Tristan is a sleeveless shirt designed with bureaucrats or well-mannered townsfolk in mind. Reaching from the shoulders to the waist and made from soft, dyed cotton, this vest can be a costume all by itself--or work as a layer in a more complicated design. Designed to be form fitting and sleek, the vest features coloured trim meant to give you a slim and groomed appearance.

When you need to make a good impression, the Tristan Vest is perfect for your needs. Secure the Vest Tristan by tying the five straps along the front for a comfortable fit. Wear it fully strapped or leave the top open for a different look.

Available in sizes 6-8 Years (2XS), 8-10 Years (XS), Small, Medium, and Large; and in colours Epic Black, Blue and Dryad Green.

HISTORY

• Inspired by the historical Jerkin worn in the 16th and 17th centuries
• Narrow waists were considered particularly fashionable in the 1600s, which is emphasized with this design

The sword sits in your baldric hanging down over your Fencing Shirt, faithful to its master despite the challenges. It has been a long and dusty road, but that sword has remained at your side through it all.

As your infantry unit comes to a halt, there is the tension one always feels before the fight. You resist the anxiety, because the moment you step into battle all of that must fade away. It will be you fighting alongside your fellow soldiers, and it will be the sword hanging in your trusted baldric that keeps you alive.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Fencing Shirt is a loose roguish garment designed for comfort and style. Made from medium cotton, this shirt falls just under the hip and is fitted with a high collar with a v-neckline. Adjust the collar opening with a laced cotton cord through brass eyelets. The sleeves are designed to give a full, loose look associated with swashbucklers, pirates and musketeers. Tighten a cotton cord at the wrists to keep the fabric out of the way, made to easily fit inside a pair of gloves or gauntlets.

The style is classic late renaissance, but will match a wide variety of characters. Match with other Epic Armoury clothes and armours to create your personalized look.
