The Coptic Tunic evolved from Roman, not Germanic fashion.
I suspect it was more complicated than that. Traditional Roman tunics with clavi were sleeveless, what we now term Coptic tunics had sleeves, as did Germanic tunics. However Parthian, Palmyrene and Persian tunics also had sleeves and were more decorative than traditional Roman ones.
Both Germanic and Persian fashions were probably influential as they were in close contact with the frontier Imperial armies. Fashions and ideas also spread both ways. The sleeves and tailoring on Coptic tunics could have come via Germanic or Eastern fashions. However while the concept of decoration on clothing was probably an eastern fashion the type of decoration itself on Coptic tunics owes much to classical Roman motifs.
Some of the finds of tunics in Germany have been regarded as being Roman influenced in style or even Roman clothing traded or looted. For instance some experts say the Thorsberg tunic often regarded as classically Germanic may have belonged to a Roman Auxiliary!

Hey,
Thanks, yes I did it on my own. I took the designs from several coptic tunics and mixed them to do this one. I wanted a particular tunic. If a can, I try to make my own equipment, sometimes I success and sometimes..... :dizzy:
I have another late tunic wich is inspired of one from Piazza Armerina. This is made in linen but I wanted one in wool, so as I had two tunic without sleeves in wool I didn't
wear, I transformed them in one plus two hats: a panonian and a phrygian.
I decided to use the same colors I have in my greek linothorax (red, black and white). I don't have a photo here, sorry.

I stand corrected on the Decoration, still those are useful finds.
