Rela Bota Men's Cotton Shirt Medieval Viking Tunic Renaissance Costume

This is my first shirt from this listing and my second linen shirt overall. I purchased the long sleeved khaki color shirt in size Small. The fit is very loose, as expected for a linen shirt; if it was a slim fit, you wouldn't be able to put it on because the fabric doesn't stretch. If you want a "slim fit", you'll need to use a waist belt or sash to pull the shirt together, which is quite appropriate for this style of shirt. My chest size is 37" and the true full chest size of this linen shirt is 40", so the extra 3" provides sufficient room to be able to put on the shirt. The size chart is inaccurate and the seller does mention to buy one size up. According to my measurement, the true chest size of the shirt is ~3" smaller than the size chart. The design and quality of the shirt is very good. I like the threaded accents and the sun wheel and I also like the small splits at the bottom of the side seam. I thought it was interesting that it also comes with straps under the sleeves to hold the sleeves when you cuff them up. The only thing that I don't like is the shoe lace string that is used—it just doesn't look ethnic. However, it is removable, so I'll be using something else for the lace. I like that they offer these shirts without the sun wheel, as well, but not in size Small, though. However, I may try out the Medium size. The long sleeve shirt pictures are a little inaccurate. The colors are heavily saturated and the lace is different. The color, lace, and also the threading around the bottom will be more like the pictures of the short sleeve shirts.

Overall, I think it’s a really nice shirt. I like the color and how soft it feels. Perfect for a Renaissance fair or just chilling at home. I haven't noticed it shrinking, and the material feels good. It doesn't wrinkle much, and the fit is pretty comfortable.

It size is on the small side

Fits nicely

Design is nice, though the medium and large both make me feel unwanted resistance reaching upwards - I think perhaps not enough slack in the shoulders/upper arms. The fabric weight is... disappointing. Most shirts these days are 8 oz per yard or less and still yet called “medium” or “heavy” weight, and this is definitely and sadly as light as a feather. Lighter fabric indicates that the individual threads are smaller in diameter, meaning they’re weaker and therefore more prone to breaking. This is also a blend of cotton and linen, meaning wherever the cotton is presents another unfortunate point of likely failure. To have been 100% linen would have been best for this design to succeed. The weave also appears less dense than one may expect, further lending to the extra lightweight and cheap feel of the garment. I got it to try as I won’t have time till winter to make my own shirts again, and was hoping for a useful prefabficated piece. Looks nice, feels surprisingly comfortable for a cheap cotton blend, but I know from experience with this same fabric that if I wear it for any purpose beyond when I’m turning in at night, it will fail miserably. If that’s what you’re looking for, and the design appeals to you, go for it.

I ordered one of these despite the mostly negative reviews about size because I needed a small and everyone said the medium fit like a small which medium was the only option in the color I wanted so it worked out. They do run small FYI the medium fit me good and as mentioned I’m small. But onto my real issues with this shirt. It’s extremely poorly made out of cheap material and it’s not gonna last you long. After the first wash the stitching started to fall apart in the sleeves and in the waist portion of the shirt. The string they sent to tie the V neck is absolutely crap and even though it didn’t go through the was it immediately started to fray. The material of the shirt itself is very poor and has zero stretch to it as well as being a huge lint and fur magnet. Lastly as pictured they added two extremely white buttons to the sleeves that allow you to roll the sleeves up and button them in place but no matter what you’re gonna see those buttons and not only do they not match the black shirt but if a person did want this shirt for re-enactments or anything remotely authentic to the Viking age it’s not gonna happen with glaringly white modern buttons. I could see all this if the shirt was 5$-8$ but for the ridiculous price of 24.99$ I expected better overall. Luckily I get free returns because this garbage is going strait back to wherever terrible shirts go.

This thing fits amazing (I am an XL, it is truly an XL) it breathes well, it is comfortable and looks stunning for the price. You don’t need to spend hundreds on Etsy for a tunic, this is perfect for many different cosplay or ren faire, or just casual wear applications. I am doing a Viking look for Ren Faire and it is perfect. Fair warning, it is cotton, wash accordingly or it WILL shrink.

Was not sure whether I would like this but I was pleasantly surprised especially when my wife commented about its fit and color.

It looks great, but definitely order a size up like they suggest . Im ordering a second one in a diffrent color just because of how nice I think it is

Ordered for my husband, foolishly did not read reviews so I ordered the size he normally wears, xl. It didn't make it over his shoulders. When it arrived all the seams and the embroidered medallion at the neck were embroidered with gold on a black shirt...not the black on black in the picture. The information clearly states this should be a cotton/linen shirt, but the tag in the shirt shows it is cotton/polyester. It doesn't have the same sheen as in the picture. I'm very disappointed. I gave it to my son who wears a med-large. It fit him fine. I won't be ordering it again.

3XL fits like a medium. don't waste your money

I normally buy a 2XL. So, to be on the safe side I ordered a 3XL. Even the 3XL was too small. It's more like a medium. Don't trust the sizing from this company.

Que es de muy buena calidad
