A Wool Tunic Sweater For Medieval Reenactment
A great addition to your garb whether you’re playing a noble knight, peasant, or adventurer.
Wool tunic is crafted from a wool blend of sheep, polyester and viscose to make it both durable and comfortable. The breathable fabric helps regulate temperature and prevents felting or itchiness, while the water repellent properties of wool help keep you dry on hot days.
It is a sleeveless, semi-fitted dress that features a deep V-neck and shirttail hem for added versatility to pair with pants or boots. The super drapey fit and soft, 5 oz rib-knit keeps you warm while staying comfortably in place.
Our Wash-A-Wool Tunic Sweater is made from a soft, merino wool tunic that is machine washable for convenience and ease of care. It won’t suffer the shrinking and sagging that some synthetic sweaters do, as the 1×1 rib knit trim retains its shape during washing, so there’s no need to worry about necklines or cuffs.
This reenactment-ready garment is designed and crafted by Burgschneider to be the ideal base of your historical costume for medieval reenactment and live action role play.

Wool is a fabric that can be derived from a wide range of animals, including camels and alpacas. The best kind of wool to wear is a breathable, odor-resistant, and quick-drying material such as the aforementioned merino wool. This is a type of fabric that has many benefits over other types of natural fibers, such as cotton. The most impressive of these is that wool is highly insulative without being bulky or heavy. It also has a low moisture absorption rate. It is also an environmentally friendly alternative to other fabrics such as synthetic ones.
These procedures are performed to improve the wool’s appearance and enhance its performance. They include fulling, crabbing and deating, which all aim to improve the fabric’s qualities and prevent it from fading or shrinking.
Depending on the type of wool used, these methods may be done before the yarn is woven into fabric. For instance, a worsted wool yarn will be better suited to a twill weave, while a plain-weave wool yarn is perfect for a more loose-weave pattern.
The final step is to weave the wool yarn into a fabric, using a loom. This can take any number of different processes, from crabbing and deating to pressing the fabric.
