Quote:As Tarbicus said it is a mistake to impose our tastes when attempting to recreate Roman tunics or anything else for that matter. It is also wrong to make assumptions that because we can not make things work the Romans could not do it either. I also suspect that in many cases people make their armour first and then try to fit everything else in!

That was the reason I made my subarmalis first, then oredered a set of SEG. Didn't help much first tile around, but the next set was made to order.... With many measurements to ensure as good a fit as possible!
Also with a baggy tunic, you can get it to do what you want to a surprising degree!
