Germanic Thorsberg tunic herringbone pattern, blue

Product description

The herringbone motif is a historical weaving method that has been employed for centuries, from the early Middle Ages to the present day in, for example, Harris Tweed. This tunic is based on original fragments found in Bernuthsfeld, Thorsberg, Hedeby and Birka.

The tunic is well-suited to re-enacting and cosplaying of early medieval people in Western Europe such as Vikings, Merovingians and Franks. The tunic falls to the knee and is crafted from sturdy cotton. The fabric strips that adorn the sleeves and neckline also fit in with early medieval fashion.

The two splits in the fabric on the sides ensure that the tunic may be worn comfortably. The neckline also has a split, which may be worn open or closed with a fibula.
