I reckon a brass neidermormter would look great with that impression too, Jyrki! But then that is what I would do!

Looking cool!!!!!

BTW, if that's a poor tunic, I can't imagine how elaborate your idea of a rich one would be!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Jyrki your 'poor tunic' looks much, much better than the other one with those wide baggy sleeves.

Yes Graham, you`re propably right! The "tunic" under my mail shirt is a thick old cotton one, which is more comfortable under the mail without a gambeson/subarmalis...

Nobody seems to have noticed that
a) either these pictures are mirrored, or
b) they are fighting with the gladius in their left hand.... Big Grin
