Bjorn Tunic Long Sleeve, Black

This garment is a classic undertunic /cotta which served as the foundational layer of clothing for both men and women across Europe.

The fabric is woven linen, a staple fabric for peasant daily wear or noble undergarments.

The Cut features a modest slit neckline and long, narrow sleeves, designed to fit comfortably beneath an insulated wool overtunic or a heavy surcoat.

The prominent central riding slit at the bottom hem is a highly practical design choice. It allows the wearer maximum mobility for walking, working, or riding a horse without the fabric binding at the knees.

To complete the historical look, this piece would typically be paired with a thick leather belt at the waist to gather the loose fabric and hold a pouch or utility dagger.

A colourful wool overtunic or a contrasting kirtle worn over it, leaving just the linen collar and sleeves visible.
