Short Sleeved Tunic

Description of the Product

In the most northern parts of Europe the clothing style of the common man and woman remained virtually the same all the way from the Viking Era to the Renaissance. Only small decorations and jewelry changed as decades and centuries changed.

As standard base clothing both men and women wore a long dress with sleeves, hoses or pants, and some form of head dress. A dress that ended at the knees or above was called a tunic. Clothes weren’t used to identify sex as commonly as nowadays but more commonly displayed your status in the society. Men inherited and used women’s clothing and vice versa. The clothing styles of women and men differentiated clearly as late as the 1300’s when men’s tunics became shorter and shorter. Of course short tunics (length above knee) were used before, but during and after 1300’s it became commonplace.

This tunic can be used both men and women. The hem has been modified by adding a slit to the front and back for added movability and space. Especially in the heat of battle free movement of the legs is crucial.

This light and comfortable tunic is made of authentic- , rough- and hand-made -looking weave and is 100% cotton. The short sleeves and neckline have a decorative border. The fabric is designed to look like an old handmade garment. Thus, there may be slight surface damage or imperfections in the fabric. The color and texture may also vary slightly.
