Shirt

A shirt is a lightweight covering for the upper torso and arms. Typically made of linen right throughout the medieval period and beyond. Neck styles and sleeves dimensions are quite variable and the length is typically longer than modern shirts falling to the mid thigh. Typically the shirt was white or off-white in colour.
When the shirt replaced the undertunic and what defines the difference is often debated, but by the 15th century was quite common.
