Medieval knight costume black and white

The black-and-white medieval knight costume is a knight outfit for men: a tunic with two contrasting panels, a long button belt, and a hood with a silver-grey chainmail look. You wear the tunic over tight trousers and fasten the belt at the side, so the panels hang loose along your legs. The set consists of the tunic, the belt, and the hood, so you choose boots and a sword yourself.

Tunic, button belt, and hood in detail

• The tunic falls below the knee and is divided vertically into two panels, with a castle tower printed on both panels.
• Short over-sleeves fall over the long sleeves, making the whole thing look like a surcoat over an undergarment.
• You fasten the long belt at the side, with the end hanging down along the front.
• The hood has a wide shoulder cape and a silver-grey chainmail look around the head and neck.
• The costume is made of 100% polyester and is available in men's sizes S, M, and L.
• Hand wash, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, iron at a maximum of 110 °C, and do not dry clean.

The surcoat of a medieval knight

Knights wore a sleeveless surcoat over their armour that showed their origin. Two-colour panels and castle towers are classic heraldic motifs, exactly the language this tunic imitates. The hood with the chainmail look refers to the chainmail coif that covered the head and neck under the helmet. This makes you recognize it as a warrior from the Middle Ages and not as a courtier or a musketeer.

What do you wear under this knight costume?

Tight dark trousers or leggings and tall lace-up boots complete the silhouette of the tunic, because the panels hang open along your legs. A wooden or plastic sword in hand and possibly a shield make the theme immediately clear. For Carnival, the costume also works as a duo, together with a lady-in-waiting or queen outfit.

Choose this knight costume in your own size and you will look like a knight from the castle during Carnival or at a medieval festival.
