Quote:In the example of your older tunic Robert I would have thought it would be more in keeping with later Roman clothes that the main tunic would have been reddish with the edging around the cuffs and the roundels being in purple.You are right. But this old tunic began life as a white one, but after running colours I was forced to dye it - purple was the best choice available. The red pieces on the lower arms were the result on patching activities...
