The lace-up neckline adds an authentic medieval touch, letting you wear it open for a relaxed, rugged look or tied for a more refined appearance. These ties not only provide flexibility in fit but also enhance the visual appeal, echoing the details of garments worn by poets, musicians, and adventurers of the Renaissance.

The loose, billowy cut of the shirt helps in complete freedom of movement, ideal for performers, dancers, or reenactors engaged in swordplay, storytelling, or music. It captures the romantic spirit of the medieval bard flowing, dramatic, and full of character.
