Tunica : wool type needed?

[M. Demetrius]

Well, picture this, if you will. You put on the tunic. You put on a belt, and pull the upper part up so the torso part of the tunic blouses out. Then, using a large fibula (like a big safety pin) you hook onto the belt at the top, and the hem of the tunic at the side. That pulls the side up so it rides right by the belt, and lets the front hang down where it usually would. Do the same thing with the other side, and you'll see large, circular "folds" that start at the sides, then go downward to the center and back up. Of course, for this to work, your tunic has to be made so it is large/long enough that there is sufficient cloth. Generally speaking, if it hangs to about the top of the calf when not belted, and reaches from around elbow to elbow or so, it is the right size.

I think Legion XXIV is in Canada. I think an edition of Leg II is, also. I'll see what I can come up with, and get folks in touch with you, if I'm successful. How'z that? I sent a query to the School of the Soldier event yahoogroup.
