Historic Enterprises (https://historicenterprises.com) is great, or if you want to go down the do-it-yourself route, I recommend starting with a shirt/shift in linen and the Medieval Tailor's Assistant ( https://www.amazon.com/Medieval-Tailors-Assistant-2nd-1100-1480/dp/0896762955) book is gold.

I make c.1460 kit for me and my husband- feel free to DM if you want pics/help!
