Lucien's Jerkin - Red

This cotton buckle-fastened jacket is engineered as a multifunctional mid-layer garment for medieval, fantasy, steampunk, and dystopian costuming environments. Constructed from cotton, it delivers a solid balance of durability, breathability, and all-day comfort-key performance metrics for rehearsals, LARP sessions, film shoots, and stage productions. The natural fibers ensure temperature stability and reduce heat buildup, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor conditions.

The jacket’s value proposition is based on its asymmetrical design and reinforced buckle system, which create a strong visual identity while maintaining high adaptability. The angled front flap, high collar with strap closure, and multiple metal buckle fastenings position this piece as an effective solution for a wide range of character archetypes: guards, mercenaries, scouts, officers, airship crew, occultists, rangers, fantasy soldiers, or background performers in large productions. With simple adjustments-layering over shirts, tunics, belts, leather accessories, or armor components-this jacket can be repurposed across numerous roles, maximizing wardrobe efficiency for production teams.

Its structured silhouette enhances operational performance. The tailored body supports clean movement lines, while the cotton fabric provides flexibility required for action choreography, dynamic scenes, or prolonged LARP activities. The high collar and diagonal fastening also support clear character definition, allowing the garment to function as a signature outer layer or a mid-layer beneath armor or cloaks.

Under stage and cinematic lighting, the cotton maintains a consistent matte finish, avoiding unwanted reflections and ensuring a visually coherent texture. This stability is especially valuable in productions requiring continuity across scenes, uniforms, or recurring character costumes.

Operationally, the jacket integrates seamlessly with gambesons, belts, bracers, harnesses, tabards, and leather armor elements. Its construction preserves silhouette integrity without restricting mobility, making it a reliable choice for costume designers, stylists, reenactors, and creators requiring reusable, resilient, and visually distinctive wardrobe assets.

In summary, this cotton jacket with asymmetrical buckle closure is a versatile, production-ready garment optimized for historical and fantasy costuming. Its durability, modularity, and strong visual profile make it a strategic addition for wardrobe departments, cosplayers, LARP players, and content creators seeking scalable, high-performance costume components.
