Medieval Costume “Bowman”

Robin Hood tunic with surco and hood

A good bow in his hand,
A broad arrow therein,
And four and twenty good arrows
Trussed in a thrum.
(from the minstrel's song)

Remember the Sherwood Forest - that great haven of folk heroes, the forest cradle of the first British guerillas and the legendary Robin Hood... Who was he, a common robber or defender of the oppressed, a law-and-order avenger or a skilled and charismatic bowman? One way or another, it's time to come out of the royal forest's shadow with a cunning plan of revenge to the Nottingham's sheriff!

Are you already tinkering with a homemade bow, imagining how cleverly you’ll strike the enemies, sending arrow after arrow? For a convincing turning into, get a medieval-style Bowman’s costume, aimed to interpret the mood and the atmosphere of the medieval England, its jaunty courage, its knightly code of honor. Firstly the garb contains a black long sleeved undertunic to protect the forearm while shooting. The sleeves don’t interfere thanks to the outer lacing with a thick jute cord that looks incredibly authentic.

It would be naive neglecting green color, fighting in the sylvan. To reduce observability, get the second item - an overtunic of deep thicket shades, supposed to be worn over the bottom tunic. The overtunic is almost knee-length, with a vertical slit at the front bottom for easy walking and short sleeves unsewn at one of the shoulders. It features contrasting black inserts, which were frequently used as patches when fixing worn out pieces and the only type of clothing decor accessible to the poor.

The third component is a deep hood with a pelerine - an essential headwear for one who prefers to remain unrecognized. Featuring long liripipe and wide collar, the hood protects from the moisture and perfectly complement any woodlander’s outfit.

All parts of the costume are completely independent, which allows them to be worn separately or all together, combined with other garbs of your choice. Becoming the hero of ballads, pay attention to the vestments of your companions and get a monk’s robe for Brother Took and one of the wonderful medieval dresses for Maid Marian.

What's included:

  1. Long sleeved undertunic;

    I bought this a few years ago. It's one of my favorite outfit pieces. I really like the versatility of using the different pieces to make other outfits with other items I have. Very well made. It'll last me for years to come.

  • Josh Kaye 24 of July 2019:

    Are there any pictures with the hood up? I'm curious to how that part of the outfit looks. Thank you!

    ArmStreet Team:

    Hi Josh, unfortunately, we do not have the picture of the costume with the hoop up, sorry.

    Can this outfit be purchased as linen or just the cotton. It's hot out here and linen would be much cooler.

  • Kevin 24 of June 2014:

    Hello I'm searching for a great costume for awhile and everytime I see this costume. I think I want to buy it. I have only one question. Is the undertunic also available in dark brown? And if so, will the price change? Can you please let me know? Kind regards, Kevin

    ArmStreet team:

  • Scott Rafferty 08 of July 2013:

    Just bought it, though I'm looking for where to get a bow like the one in the picture.

  • W.Brittain 27 of April 2011:

    My one of these arrived 2 weeks ago and I have worn it a few times now; looks great and is very comfortable to wear.
    I would highly recommend this!

  • N. Nguyen 19 of July 2010:

    wow, FANTASTIC outfit! only question is that the DARK color that is offered, is that black or dark grey?

    ArmStreet team:

    Thanks! Model wears black undertunic with green overtunic and green hood.

  • Edward Bryant 08 of March 2010:

    This is the best Bowman's Tunic I've seen. Also, you ask for measurements,as well, and not the one size fits all. Fantastic

  • Madison 26 of January 2010:

    I love the Robin Hood look! It's great! If I were a guy, I'd absolutely purchase this! I'd recommend it for guys looking to impress ladies...

  • sean 05 of April 2009:

    hi what does this Bowmans tunic exactly come with just the tunic or does it come with the pants and the shirt and the belt and hood

    ArmStreet team:

    Pants and belt are not included. This set includes: 1. long-sleeved tunic; 2. hood; 3. overtunic.

  • gerry grimes 19 of November 2008:

    absolutely accurate beautiful replication of bowmans hood marvellous lovely very very impressed...

  • steve 06 of September 2008:

    Is there any way to purchase just the overtunic and the hood?

    ArmStreet team:

    Just email us at contact@armstreet.com.

  • Branden Brown 22 of July 2008:

    Quick question... so this costume here comes with black undergarments AND the green tunic and hood overtop of it? Do you sell just the green tunic and hood by itself? I have pants and a shirt already and am looking for a bowman tunic to wear over them... exactly like this one, i love the hood. Im going for a drow/dark ranger kind of look. Do you sell just the green hood/tunic and if so what would that cost? Can I have it made in different colors? thanks! Branden

    ArmStreet team:

    This costume consists of the tunic, overtunic and hood. Optionally each part can be purchased separately.
    Please simply email us at contact@armstreet.com.

  • Scott 27 of November 2019:

    I ordered two more of these to add to the two I've been wearing for years. Of all the different archer/bowman tunics I have, these are notably the best and most durable. The hood is long and adds a very menacing, sort of creepy, look to the outfit.

  • Josh Kaye 02 of October 2019:

    Very happy with these tunics! Looks great and extremely pleased with the level of craftsmanship on the sewing.

  • Shelly B. 10 of March 2015:

    I received my tunic today and it is outstanding!!! Better than I could have imagined! I am so very pleased with the purchase (it will not be the last item I get from you good folk!!) and I just would like to express my gratitude for the quick turn around you gave my order!


    In short; very impressed overall at both the service and quality :)

    ArmStreet team:

    Thank you! We're pleased to get such a warm feedback. We are proud to be of good assistance!
    Always welcome to ArmStreet back!

  • RJ 02 of July 2013:

    I got mine in a few days ago, and I'm very happy with it. It's made out of a very durable cotton and feels very authentic, giving me exactly the look I wanted. The price can't be beat and the measurements are perfect. Thank you Armstreet!

    ArmStreet team:

    Thanks for the review!

  • Edw. Bryant 24 of May 2010:

  • Kim M 19 of June 2009:

    I just gave this to my husband for his birthday. He looks utterly amazing in it! He is so completely pleased with it that we'll be ordering more outfits in the future. Not only is it well constructed but you made it specifically to fit him; with him being a large man, it's hard to find period costumes that fit him but this one fits him perfectly. Thank you ever so much!

    ArmStreet team:

    Many thanks for your amazing review!

  • Julia 05 of June 2009:

    OMG this is tottally awsome! i would wear this EVERYWHERE!!! i think it makes that guy look like Candragupta Maurya

    ArmStreet team:

    Wow, cool comparison! This is how Robin Hood has turned into an Indian emperor!

Please wait...
