Burgschneider – Garb Built to Last
Some clothing just has to look good; garb has to do a lot more: survive a downpour at a medieval market, keep you warm on night watch by the campfire, and still look like it never came from a webshop. Burgschneider, a German manufacturer of medieval and LARP garb, makes exactly that: tunics, dresses, trousers, cloaks, and accessories whose cuts draw on historical models – from the Viking age to the High Middle Ages. At Elbenwald you'll find a broad selection of the brand, from the simple undergarment to the complete look. Whether you're setting up camp for the first time or filling your fifth garb chest: here, it's the character that gets dressed, not the costume.
What makes Burgschneider special?
The ambition to build everyday clothing from past eras rather than fancy dress. The pieces carry names like Tristan, Ragnar, or Haithabu, rely on simple, combinable cuts, and are designed for what reenactment and LARP really demand: freedom of movement, weather resistance, a layering system. From the undergarment through tunic and overdress to cloak and headwear, a complete outfit can be built from a single source – and grows along with the character. A special case is the officially licensed Dungeons & Dragons line: garb sets for wizards, clerics, fighters, and rogues translate the tabletop RPG's classes into wearable gear, from the robe to the vambraces. Details on material and care are named on the respective product page.

Range overview
The base is laid by shirts & tunics as well as dresses, from undergarment to overdress. Trousers in a historical cut carry you through the market day, and cloaks & capes through the night by the fire. The finishing touches come from headwear and medieval bags for everything the Middle Ages didn't fit in a pocket. Role-players can head straight to LARP or gear up their class with the Dungeons & Dragons garb sets.
What else goes well with it?
The matching game world for your garb is found at Dungeons & Dragons, Nordic inspiration awaits at Vikings, and anyone who'd rather pitch camp in Middle-earth will find plenty at The Lord of the Rings. The full collection, from drinking horn to decorative weapon, is gathered in the Medieval & LARP theme world.
