Medieval Riding Tunic
The Medieval Riding Tunic is a core piece of Epic Armoury's Yoremade collection, built for the Early and High Medieval periods. Deep splits in both the front and back solve a specific problem — movement. Whether you're actually on a horse or just need to move fast on foot, the splits give your legs room without the fabric bunching or pulling at the waist.
A blend of 75% cotton and 25% linen strikes the right balance: the linen lends a rugged, historical texture that photographs well, while the high cotton content keeps things soft and breathable. It's a durable workhorse garment that holds up to the dirt and friction of camp life while staying light enough as a base layer on hot days.
The design stays intentionally simple, with long sleeves and a clean, rounded neckline that pairs easily with hoods, belts, or armor without adding bulk. Offered in Cardinal Red, Cloudy Blue, and Maiden Natural, it's a reliable foundation for any character from a simple scout to a seasoned man-at-arms.
