About Medieval Thread
Medieval clothing for the character you have in mind, from a first Renaissance faire outfit to the next layer for a fantasy LARP.
A hood changes a silhouette. A cloak adds movement. A quilted layer or a fitted coat gives the whole outfit a different feel. Medieval Thread brings these pieces together so you can build your look one garment at a time.
Start with the shape. Make it your own.
Some outfits begin with a simple hood and a tunic. Others need the sweep of a cloak, the long tail of a liripipe or the structure of a gambeson. Browse by garment, then compare the details that matter to your outfit: fabric, lining, closures, length and fit.
Hoods & cloaks
Find a defining outer layer, from a modest shoulder mantle to a full-length silhouette. Explore medieval hoods and cloaks and capes.
Gambesons & coats

The right details
Read the individual product description and size chart before choosing. Our clothing and fit guide explains how to compare materials, measurements and layers.
For faire days, characters and imagined worlds
Use the collections as a starting point for Renaissance faires, fantasy costumes and LARP characters. If your reenactment group follows a particular period or set of clothing rules, check those requirements before ordering.
Materials and construction vary by design, so the product page is the place to check what you are buying. Gambesons and other garments are clothing and costume layers; they are not certified protective equipment.
