Wool Germanic tunic made from US-woven wool which is of a combination of natural grey and madder-orange shade and sewn using locally-sourced wool thread in the same shade. The tunic uses period seams and hems and features a loose, baggy body, semi-fitted shorter sleeves, and a reinforced slit neckline.
It is worn long and gathered up at the waist with a belt, similar to Roman tunics, a fashion that works well when using trousers such as the Marx-Etzel style that feature a rolled-down waist and therefore avoid creating an unsightly "bum roll" around the waist that would be seen if a more-fitted tunic was worn. The style of tunic was made in reference to styles seen being worn by Germanic and Dacian warriors on the likes of Trajan's Column, as well as other period works.
