Leine (leinnes)
Leines are a Medieval garment worn by men. While no period examples are in existance today, historical texts and paintings give reference to the Liene and lend various descriptions.
The usual length was around the knee, belted or worn under a jacket.
A shorter, mid-hip length would have been worn over trousers.
Leines are also traditional kilt shirts of the Celtic people.
They are the perfect upper-body compliment to
the Kilt.
The leine is quite voluminous, containing several yards of fabric.
Made of 100% unbleached muslin or poly-cotton in your choice of color.
The sleeves are long and can be left open or sewn closed to the wrist (bag sleeves).
This Celtic costume can be worn as a Renaissance costume, Medieval Costume, SCA or LARP Garb or for your Celtic wedding.
We offer one XX-large size that can be worn by almost everyone. (It measures over 110 inches around!)
