Was the perfect gift!
Honestly, this is probably the best standard renfair shirt around. The cotton is soft and of a thickness that shows quality, but remains very breathable. I've seen so many boyfriends and husbands dragged to the Ren Fair in the same Amazon tunic and it's an absolute shame when a piece like this exists and they could end up looking so much better with just as much effort. I've worn mine to at least three festivals now, I've sweat profusely in it, I have layered it without an undershirt and I couldn't be more pleased. The more you break it in, the better it looks.
Good quality, would wish that the sleeves where a few centimetres longer. But that is also the only the negative thing I have to say.
great craftsmanship, just a bit small.
After trying out shirts from every major LARP supplier, I've settled on this one, and own four or five of them now that I wear under every single one of my kits. I love it!
- The fabric and sewing are nice, comfortable and remarkably sturdy; they can withstand abuse on the field as well as vigorous washing.
- The stand-up collar looks nice, prevents chafing and protects the outer layers of the outfit.
- The straight sleeves are easier to iron and to fold than the fancier puffy ones, and fit perfectly under any tunic or gambeson.
- The stitched eyelets are more comfortable and less prone to oxidizing (obviously) than metallic ones.
- And the price is a killing, allowing me to own multiples and wear a clean shirt every LARP day under the more expensive tunics and gambesons.
Seriously folks, never overlook the basics!
