This shirt is a historically based reconstruction of a textile find from Viborg, Denmark, dated to the 11th century. It is intended for serious reenactment and living history use, with a cut and construction rooted in archaeological evidence rather than modern fantasy interpretations.
The pattern is based on the preserved fragments and scholarly reconstructions of the Viborg garment. The cut relies on simple geometric shapes: rectangular body panels, inserted gussets for freedom of movement, and set-in sleeves. The neckline with overlapping flaps and tie closures reflects solutions documented in the original find.
The shirt is made from 100% natural linen, a material widely used in early medieval Europe. The fabric is breathable, durable, and suitable for everyday use in historical camps as well as under additional layers such as tunics, kaftans, or mail shirts. All seams are neatly and aesthetically finished, ensuring durability and a clean, historically appropriate appearance.
