Medieval Tunic Bent with Detachable Sleeves, brown/black

Medieval Tunic Bent with Removable Sleeves, brown/black

Our knee-length tunic is made from plain weave cotton fabric with colour contrasting details made from sturdy cotton canvas. It is elaborately finished and designed as an outer garment.

The braided cords at the shoulders make it possible to wear the tunic with or without sleeves. The cords' ends are equipped with brass tips that make the threading much easier. The round neckline has a slit on the front and can be tied with two cords, also finished with metal points. The upper part of the tunic is straight-cut, while so-called gores (wedge-shaped pieces of fabric) inserted into the side seams and the center front panel give the skirt piece a nice flare. Rough stitching lends a handmade feel to the tunic. Delivery includes a canvas belt with matching ornamental stitches. It is extra-long and can thus be tied twice around the waist.

This tunic is not a reproduction but a free interpretation of a medieval tunic. Its cut is based on archeological finds made in Skjoldehamn (Norway) and Kragelund (Denmark) and believed to be dating back to the High Middle Ages. Detachable sleeves were quite popular in medieval times, as they could be washed separately and allowed for several wearing options. They are however rather ascribed to the late medieval period in terms of historical classification.

Please note: Delivery includes the tunic only! The accessories pictured above are available separately in our online shop.
