Tunicella, medieval tunic with hood Renaud, natural

Product description

Men of the lower classes in the High and Late Middle Ages (1000–1500 AD) wore a tunicella—an 'over-tunic' with a built-in hood—for field work during the cold months or while traveling. It is perfect for re-enacting medieval travelers, it has a split so you can walk, run and ride on horseback, it protects the legs from cold weather and has a hood for rain and wind. This tunic is also ideal for monks or hermits.

The tunic is made in a color that was worn by the poorer classes of society. The colors red, blue, purple and variants were only reserved for nobility. The pigments to make these colors were very expensive.
