'''{{AO Special Mention'''|Title= No rolled up sleeves|Caption= Clothing from our period is usually shown with tight sleeves. As such they would have found it impossible to roll their sleeves up their arms. If you do this then your sleeves are too loose and you would do well to tighten them. }}
===Under Shirt===
Under Shirts are usually made from natural or bleached linen. The under shirt should be hidden, and not be seen at the cuffs or hem. In general it should follow the pattern of the tunic although they can be side split or front split (after 1041AD). The under shirt may only be worn on its own only if physical work is being performed.
'''{{AO Special Mention'''<br>|Title= More plain linen shirts and shifts. |Caption= A natural or bleached linen is encouraged for shirts and shifts. As undergarments they would have been washed more frequently and also been worn less visibly. As such, it is considered unlikely that people would have bothered dyeing them as any dye would have washed out over time.}}
