Quote:Military tunics, after putting on the belt, should be just above the knee. Civilian tunics should be just below the knee for men, and longer for women, usually.I would agree with you that this goes for most but by no means all. I think you'll find that plenty of artistic evidence belies that 'rule'. Clothing is, after all, subject to fashion and personal taste.
