The Medieval Clothing collection from Lord of Battles includes the garments worn across medieval Europe by warriors, travelers, nobles, and everyday people. Clothing during the Middle Ages was not only practical but also meant social status, profession, and regional identity. From simple tunics worn by common folk to layered garments used by knights and nobles, medieval clothing played a vital role in daily life.
Today, these garments are still essential for historical reenactments, LARP events, stage productions, Renaissance fairs, and historical displays.
Our medieval clothing is crafted using natural fabrics such as cotton and durable canvas, for comfort, breathability, and long-term reliability. Cotton garments give flexibility and ease of wear, making them suitable for long use during reenactments, festivals, and outdoor events.
For protective garments such as gambesons, we use heavy canvas and layered padding. Canvas provides strength and durability, while the padding helps absorb impact and improves comfort when worn with armour.
The collection includes a wide range of garments such as cloaks, dresses, gambesons, shirts, tabards, headgear, children’s clothing, and other clothing accessories. These pieces are inspired by clothing worn across different roles in medieval society.
Layering was a common in medieval dress, for wearers to adapt to different climates and activities. Gambesons provided protective padding beneath armour, while cloaks and tunics offered warmth and comfort during travel or camp life.
