About this Product
This is inspired by some medieval European fashions of a tunic cut in a cape-like manner, split at the sides and worn belted with the back loose. I love this style; it looks quite dashing and much more dramatic and complicated than it is.
This version is made of a large-scale linen print, with deep slits cut for the arms, through which the matching belt will pass to catch the front against the body. It can be worn buttoned and belted, or only button or only belted, it can be worn as a tunic or as a cape--it's really quite versatile! And it looks fantastic with the full sleeves of the Really Useful Shirt. The single layer of linen makes it an excellent choice for summer wear.
Designed to be a unisex garment, it will best fit a M/L woman or a S/M man due to the shoulder width.
Machine wash warm, tumble dry low, dry in the sun if you can! Iron with steam as needed; linen does wrinkle, but I have found that the weight and crispness of this weave keeps fairly fresh-looking.
Dragons Den Gaming
Meet the Maker
We are Dragons Den Gaming based in Barberton Ohio and we love games and gamers! Our brick and mortar store is dedicated to trading card games and table top RPGs, and we are create in-house costumes, props, and boffer weapons for the local LARP that we run. We love playing, and we want to share that love with other gamers like us, and create all the garb and boffers that any adventurer could need. We pour ourselves into the things we create, and we build to last! Leah has a background in theatrical costume design and thinks of costumes as "clothes for someone else": they should last a long time, and be as unique as the character. She rarely makes the same thing twice! Chris is a mechanical engineer and has put his years of crafting boffers to good use. His latex boffers can be custom made to suit just about any vision, and frequently sport a crush tip, which is a rare feat for latex boffers!
Let's all get together and play some games!
How it’s Made
This is made of a remnant of a linen fabric from our local family-owned fabric store, which is located a half a block down the street from us.
The stitching was done on a Singer 400W1.
This was the first attempt at this design, and it came out so lovely that I look forward to making more!
