If you go here: http://www.levantia.com.au/clothing/Dawson_tunic.pdf there is an article of mine which gives several patterns for Late Antique > early medieval tunics. My new book *By the Emperor's Hand: Court regalia and military dress in the eastern Roman Empire, c.500–1453* there will also be patterns for coats and trousers from surviving examples. I hope it will be out this year.
It is a myth based upon selective archaeological survival, and selective publication, that the Coptic style dominated the Empire in Late Antiquity. Outside Egypt semi-tailored tunics and coats were the norm for men, in the style known in the Egyptian context as the "Iranian / Persian horsemen's" outfits.
