SPES Medieval Market

A classic medieval silhouette in a custom olive-green finish.

Our Fernando Arming Doublet is inspired by garments worn throughout the 14th and 15th centuries, combining historical authenticity with a versatile cut suitable for both civilian and military impressions. This particular piece is crafted entirely from 100% linen, giving it a distinctive look and feel perfect for warmer events and campaigns.

Featuring a period-correct waist seam, characteristic front cut-outs, and attachment points for hose, Fernando draws inspiration from historical sources such as the famous Gladiatoria manuscripts.

A simple cotte.

Not a dress for feasts or ceremonies, but the foundation of everyday medieval life. Fitted through the torso for comfort and freedom of movement, laced securely at the front, and flowing into generous panels from the hips down, ready for whatever the day brings.🍃

Whether you're building an authentic medieval wardrobe, stepping into a living history event, or simply dreaming of life centuries ago, this is where the story begins.

⚜ Long sleeves
⚜ Front lace closure
⚜ Fitted bodice with flared skirt panels
⚜ 100% linen

Because not every medieval story starts in a castle. Some begin in the kitchen, the workshop, or along a dusty village road.

A medieval shirt… but made from wool? 👀

Before you say "that sounds way too warm", hear us out. This is a special lightweight wool fabric that remains comfortable even in warmer weather. It’s breathable, surprisingly pleasant against the skin, and has a character all its own.

Take a closer look at the fabric detail in the photos – the subtle woven pattern adds depth and texture that are difficult to capture from a distance, but absolutely worth appreciating up close.

We're quite fond of how this experiment turned out. What do you think?

Would you like to see lightweight wool shirts become a permanent part of our collection?

Patiently she keepeth watch.
For glory? Fortune?
Nay. For Saturday. 😌

Know Your Fabric -

If linen was the fabric of everyday life and wool the fabric of practicality, silk was the fabric of prestige.👑

One of the most luxurious textiles used in historical clothing, silk was primarily reserved for the wealthy and powerful throughout much of the Middle Ages. It appeared in courtly fashion, ceremonial garments, and decorative details that instantly signalled status and wealth.

Silk is prized for its unique feel - smooth, soft, and pleasantly cool to the touch.😌 Its subtle sheen catches the light beautifully, adding elegance and depth to any garment. Lightweight and fluid, it drapes exceptionally well and brings a sense of movement that few other fabrics can match.

Whether used for a full gown, a nobleman's doublet, a veil, or just a decorative accent, silk has a remarkable ability to elevate an outfit.

Available in a wide range of colours, silk remains a truly exceptional fabric - and not just because of its price. For those seeking the most refined and eye-catching historical look, there is simply nothing quite like it.🧐👌

One of our favourite product categories for many years has been TENTS. We’d like to give you a closer look at how our ideas are born, how we design them, and finally how we turn them into our cotton creations. But since life is not all about the Middle Ages, today I’d like to present the story behind our Camp Tent.
