Collection Highlights

1. Rectangular Body with Simple Sleeves
   The Simple Cut Collection is distinguished by its straightforward, rectangular body structure with simple, straight-cut sleeves. This traditional design, inspired by garments from the Viking Age settlement of Birka and similar historical finds such as Thorsberg, Bocksten, and Kragelund, combines authenticity with ease of wear, making each piece an ideal choice for both practical use and historical reenactment.

2. Functional Square Gusset for Movement
   Every garment in this collection includes a square gusset sewn into the armpit area, a thoughtful design element that allows for natural movement and ensures comfort during active wear. This feature is a hallmark of early medieval clothing, emphasizing the collection’s commitment to authentic historical construction.

3. Side Gores for Volume and Comfort
   Each tunic or dress is crafted with side gores, creating a fuller, more voluminous fit without sacrificing simplicity. The added volume enhances the drape of the garment and provides flexibility, making it ideal for everyday wear or more active scenarios. The simple yet effective use of gores echoes historical preferences for designs that were both practical and flattering.

4. Premium Linen and Wool Fabrics
   Available in high-quality linen or wool sourced from woolsome.shop, every piece in the Simple Cut Collection is handcrafted from materials that reflect the durability and authenticity of historical clothing. Linen provides a lightweight, breathable option ideal for warmer seasons, while wool offers warmth and resilience for cooler conditions.

5. Hand-Stitched with Historical Techniques
   Each item is fully hand-stitched using period-appropriate techniques, making every garment in the collection a product of skilled, artisanal craftsmanship. The stitching methods used are inspired by archaeological textile fragments, ensuring each piece holds true to historical standards and quality.
