Tristan Vest - Green

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.

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

A sleeveless jerkin by Epic Armoury, constructed from 100% cotton light canvas with a chrome leather shoulder reinforcement. The contrast between the canvas body and leather yoke gives the jerkin a layered, utilitarian look, while the decorative hand stitching across the body and back adds visual texture throughout.

The front closes with three leather cord ties, each anchored through a stitched leather tab on either side. The silhouette is fitted through the torso with a short pleated skirt at the hem, allowing freedom of movement without bulk.

Features
