Sir Edward:

BTW, just one word of warning about using white fabric.... it's a lot harder to keep clean, and shows the armor grime really fast. I can't get all of the black out of my white shirts that I wear under the armor, for instance. Most, but not all.

Sir William:
^^^definitely, what he said.  Now I have but two shirts that I wear under armor now, simply for that reason.

Sir Brian:
No worries there my friends! I'm well accustomed to handwashing my torse because the white portion of it gets so filthy from rubbing up against my mailled armpits when I hold it.  ;)

Sir Matthew:
Actually, according to my research, linen was very expensive while wool was cheap and silk was relatively inexpensive. Cotton was very expensive and generally only seen on clothing for nobility.

Sir Wolf:
umm no linen was an everyday item. you will find everyone had linen under garments and tunics under their wools. cotton was not used in Europe as a clothing item until later (post 15th century anyways)
