Children's Long Tunic or Kirtle

Our children's wear line is based on smaller simplified, versions of our adult clothing, as it was in period. Most clothing for younger children was relatively simple in form and therefor had a very unisex look. The simple tunic shown here could function as outer layer for boy or girl and could be worn belted or not as was often accessorized with a hood. Throughout the Middle Ages clothes were worn in layers, with a light linen tunic forming the foundation over which additional linen or wool garments were worn. The exact nature of these earliest garments is unknown, but by the 13th century, they had evolved into a simple, style we commonly call the tunic. Worn with shirt and hood this ubiquitous silhouette was a common style of outwear for medieval children, be he child of duke or cotter. Our stock in these style varies so please contact Customer Service to find out what current availability is in the style you are interested in.
