Half-linen fabric is perfectly suited to be worn directly on the skin. The linnen part is cooling and non-soiling; the cotton part absorbes moisture and leads to a comforting and soft feeling. The material is ideal to be used as an undergarment. Wear it underneath a woolen overgarment to stay warm in winter or use it underneath a padded gambeson to stay cool and dry: this tunic is an ideal piece of medieval functional underwear.
