Short Tunic Erik Grey 1 erik schwarz "Short Sleeve Shirred V Neck Tunic Perfect", Black Woman Within Pocket Black Tunic Evans Pocket Black Tunic Evans Pocket Black Tunic Evans. Our Short Tunic Erik is made of a heavy, coarsely woven fabric which gives it an authentic medieval look. Tunics were worn from the ancient Roman times to the Middle Ages, not limited to Vikings and Germanic tribes. In different lengths and with an under and over tunic, depending on the era and climate. The medieval tunic offered here is a short version for a hunter or blacksmith. Traditionally, the tunic is worn belted. The slit at the neckline makes it easier to put it on and can be closed decoratively with a robe brooch. Like all pieces of our collection, the medieval tunic was designed according to historical models and illustrations. The tunic is made of 100% cotton and is therefore comfortable to wear and easy to wash (do not forget: cotton tends to shrink a bit the first time you wash it and similar to jeans they don't like dryers).
