This medieval-style shirt is made from cotton, offering an alternative cut to our other medieval shirt, suited to a general medieval impression across many social classes and periods.
Shirts of this basic form remained broadly similar in cut across much of the medieval period, worn as a base layer beneath a tunic, gambeson, or other outerwear.

Known variously as the gambeson, aketon, arming doublet, or padded jack, this quilted defensive garment was a vital part of medieval equipment from around the 10th century onward, worn either as standalone armour or beneath mail and plate. Built from multiple layers of linen or wool stitched together by quilting, with stuffing that varied from scrap cloth to horsehair, a sufficiently thick gambeson offered genuinely excellent protection, absorbing and distributing the force of blows while preventing the chafing that bare mail or plate would otherwise cause against the skin. The word aketon likely derives from the Arabic al-qutn, “the cotton,” reflecting the garment’s origins and preferred stuffing material.
This reproduction is made from padded cotton, offering practical protection and comfort whether worn standalone or beneath mail and plate.

The jupon was a fitted, sleeveless padded garment worn by knights over armour, often emblazoned with heraldry to identify the wearer amid the chaos of battle, distinct from the aketon or gambeson worn as a base layer beneath armour.
Unlike a purely defensive undergarment, the jupon could serve as a standalone display piece, worn over a mail shirt or plate cuirass to show a knight’s colours and arms.
