Crinkle Undershirt

She put her boots on the table in the middle of the captain’s dining salon, ignoring the corpse on the floor. Even now, hours after the battle, the ship still reeked of spilt blood, guts, and gunpowder as the crew worked to clean it. But to Captain Sarilla, it was the sweet smell of victory. This frigate now belonged to her. She straightened the sleeves of her undershirt, having thrown off her coat earlier. Where would an old sea dog like the ex-captain hide his booze?

Epic Armoury’s Crinkle Undershirt is a loose-fitting, lightweight, crepe cotton shirt. Around the wrist and the neckline are drawstrings that allow you to tie it in or wear it loose as you wish. It is an excellent undergarment for most costumes, as shirts have existed for at least a thousand years. The crepe cotton is slightly transparent, so wearing a different undergarment is advised if used as an overshirt.

Your small lap dog yaps at the soldiers in their camps. You keep the creature in your arms, nestled against your Aramis Doublet, lest it be trampled by inconsiderate feet.

You search amongst the camps, your entourage at your heels. You must find the general and speak your mind. As the lord of this land you have been the one who has paid for the soldier’s food and given them this space for their tents. Your flower garden, however, is now in shambles. Surely something can be done about that.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Dark Grey Doublet Aramis is a snug-fitting long-sleeved jacket designed to give shape to the male body. This doublet covers the torso to the hips and can be worn beneath armour or cloak thanks to the embroidered eyelets along the chest and upper back. The doublet is donned like a jacket and closed on the front with a system of cords, allowing the wearer to customize the tightness of the fit. The sleeves are easily detachable by untying the cords beneath the decorative shoulder tabs, each cord secured through long-lasting brass eyelets.

Thick enough to provide some warmth, this sturdy doublet is constructed with layers of wool and satin. All these layers are stitched together in slimming lines, keeping the doublet form-fitting and mimicking a rich Tudor style.

HISTORY

• Doublets were originally used as padding beneath armour
• Doublets became a fashion choice, creating an appealing shape to the male body while holding up the hose using ties
• Used to provide warmth to the core

You tighten your belt another notch, frowning at the watered-down soup over the fire. You and your family aren’t sure you’re going to have enough food. As you consider ways you might be able to afford some meat--maybe you can do some work for a merchant in town?--there’s an anxious knock on the door.

“Raiders!” shouts the messenger on your doorstep. “Raiders are coming! Every able person is being called to fight!”

Suddenly an empty belly is the least of your worries.

You’ve been told that it’s not what’s on the outside that counts, but the inside. A beautiful lady in all her elegant skirts and jewelry is only as lovely as her personality. Despite her beauty, she could truly be a rotten core, putrid and a blemish on society.

As you consider yourself and your newest gown in the mirror, the only ‘inside’ you’re concerned with is the inside of the dress’ scratchy wool. Thankfully your Astrid Shift is doing a rather impeccable job keeping you comfortable and itch-free. Perhaps it really is all about what is on the inside that counts.

Comfortable Underdress

The streets were quiet in the red glow of dawn, and Henri's heart skipped a beat as he recognized his rival for the fair maiden's hand. In truth, the man was a knave, but he'd kept his word and come alone. Without a word, they drew their swords, their shirts billowing with the motion.
The duel was brief; afterwards, Henri's heart was as still as the rain just before the sun rose. He had been no match for Henri's training with the King's Musketeers. Wiping the man's blood off the blade with his shirt, Henri marvelled at its material. It was the latest fashion, and this fencing shirt would serve him well. Once he got the blood out.

The Epic Armoury Crinkled Fencing Shirt is a loose garment made from soft cotton crepé. It sits around the waist, has a high collar, and laces through brass eyelets around the neck. It has a number of crinkles in the fabric, making it appear sophisticated. The sleeves tie around your wrists but billow when you move, invoking images of the buccaneers, musketeers, and swashbucklers of the Renaissance Period and the early-to-mid Age of Sail.

The material is slightly transparent but is kept in an otherwise neutral style so that it can be used with many different character styles.
