Jolner Shirt

The harshness of a Viking's life is never easy. Always stay aware of your surroundings.

When you meet foes in battle, you better be comfortable in your clothes!
Epic Armoury's Jolner cotton shirt is appealing to Larpers for several reasons.
This classic medieval shirt is made from roughly woven cotton fabric and has a wide A-frame cut with a v-shaped neckline. This period shirt has three-quarter length sleeves and falls just above the hips, making it perfect for fighters and villagers who need clothing that will last. This cotton shirt serves well in warm weathered events due to its quality fabric. As a medieval shirt, it can be worn alone, under your armor or as a base layer beneath a more elegant costume, making it a precious addition to your costume wardrobe.

The forest is serene this morning as you head out along the trails. Birds are singing and the weather is crisp, perfect for working without breaking too much of a sweat. But as you approach the dead tree you’d marked the day before, you believe you hear something in the underbrush.

Your calloused, strong hand wraps around the handle of your axe hanging from your X Belt. The edge is freshly sharpened, and you’re ready to defend yourself from any beast that you might find--relieved as a neighbor’s dog comes bounding out from a bush, instead.

Back to work.

THE WARRIORS OF THE NORTH SHALL NEVER SURRENDER

Epic Armoury's Dreki vest is designed to wear over a gambeson and on top of the Dreki armour-set. The item is large to its size, so it fits nicely over the other bulky products. The Dreki vest adds a distinctly rugged appearance to your character. Although the vest works best with the Dreki set, you can use this vest for any armour set from Epic Armoury, infusing it with a small part of the Dreki aesthetic.

 Made of twill, to have a stury feeling and top-grain leather straps and fittings to increase durability and hardness, this cloth piece is built to withstand the abuse of a LARP or reenactment with regular leather and metal armour care.

A warrior without a sword is still a warrior, but one with no shoes is just a target.

The Epic Armoury Wool Leg Wraps are an efficient way to protect your limbs from harm during Larp battle. Our woollen winingas are made from long strips of fabric weaved in a herringbone pattern designed to complement any period costume. These leg bindings are perfect for warriors seeking padding and protection beneath their leg armor or running through the bush. Our leg wraps are wound from the ankle to the knee and can be tied or fastened using a pin.

They also provide support, warmth and comfort to your calves and are a necessary part of any medieval wardrobe. This medieval costume accessory helps ensure a snug and motionless grip needed for attaching your leg armor while giving a striking and visible impression to your outfit.

Your aura of darkness freezes the hearts of anyone who looks you in the eye. And your favorite? Someone is saying you made a deal with a devil so that you may never die.

Shield Bash!

Your shield sends a goblin clear off his feet, landing in a pile of his buddies. They miscalculated your massive strength, and are reeling backwards on the retreat. So much for supposed alliances--you can feel the goblin blood soaked clear down to your Tunic. They have learned too late that betraying an Orc of the Black Water would mean death. It’s too bad they won’t be able to share the word with their kin.

You adjust your great shield, letting out a battle cry of rage as another goblin aims for your ankles. Shield Bash. This one goes flying another fifteen paces.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s tunic is a light Viking-style shirt often worn as an undergarment, with a large V-shaped neckline. Reaching from the shoulders to the mid-thighs and made from comfortable, dyed cotton, this tunic is an extremely versatile item that can be a costume all by itself--or work as a base layer in a more complicated design. Made from durable fabric, this neutral cut tunic is an essential and long-lasting piece in any costuming wardrobe.

HISTORY

• Historically worn by a great variety of people and cultures--with many different types of cuts!
• The name derives from the Latin tunica, the basic garment worn by both men and women in Ancient Rome
• Generally considered a male garment and was still worn in Norway until the 17th century

The tunic was not only worn by romans in the ancient world, but was a favorited piece of clothing even in the high and late medieval period in Europe. It has been a basic piece of undergarment for men and women and constantly changed its appearance due to modern cuts and sewing techniques.

Mytholon's Gadaric tunic is used as a basis for most medieval costumes. The bottom widens slightly and has a central cut in the front and back to allow better movement of the legs. The wide cut sleeves will let you move your arms unhindered when dancing of fighting.

Worn as an undergarment (under any Gambeson from our range), it will keep you cool, yet warm enough and drains off humidity from the wearers body.

Buckle up this tunic with any of our ranges belts to wear it as an overgarment. This will have you wearing a costume for itself. Combine it with a pair of pants and a belt bag and have a basic character dressed for adventures or your next visit on the medieval fair.
