| RAPIER ARMORRAPIER SHIRTS |
WITH FALLING COLLAR & CUFFS During the latter part of the 16th century, the shirt collar began to show above the doublet collar. There are many paintings showing a wide variety of shirt collars, some only "peeking out", others of a medium length, while some literally "fall" over the doublet collar. At the same time, turn-back cuffs began to appear as well. Our version of this style is on the basic rapier shirt with an embroidered cut-work falling collar and matching turn-back cuffs. (Should be worn with doublet and sleeves as shown in the picture.) Design of cut-work and laces will vary as the supply changes. Vee is no longer available. S, M, L, XL, 2X |
NEW! Four new styles of falling collars: Plain, Blackwork, Lace Trim, Sheer Embroidery with Turn-Back Cuffs $89.00 White Only |
The stock shirt comes with ribbon ties at the collar and cuffs. If you would like to have metal buttons instead of ribbons, there will be additional $3.00 added to the cost of the shirt.

OUR SIZING STANDARDS FOR RAPIER SHIRTSOur Rapier Shirts are not sized by modern sizing standards since period clothing does not fit like modern clothing. The numbers in the sizing chart are ACTUAL BODY MEASUREMENTS, not modern sizes. These shirts have a straight cut in the body to eliminate excess material under your doublet. |
SIZING CHART
you will probably need the pattern adjusted to a custom size. The largest shirt measures 58" so if you are larger than 54" across your girth you will need a custom size. There will be an additional charge for custom sizes. CUSTOM SIZING FOR SHIRTS IS AN ADDITIONAL $10.00 Neck, Chest or Girth, Hips, Sleeve length (Nape to Wrist) |
