My new tunica

[Magnus]

First one is just a modification of the existing white wool tunic I have had since I first got into reenacting. I added red woolen clavii in the same method that Primus Paulus did, in that I cut the tunic into sections, then attached it all together instead of sewing the clavii over top. All outer seems are hand sewn, inner are machine stitched by my grandma.

The green battle tunic is linen, and I have yet to do the hems on it by hand.

Both tunics fit me great, and the woolen one fits much better now that I've added the clavii.

Yessir! Looks nice to me. And that's exactly how I make clavi on my tunics, too.

I have white tunics, one with dull red clavi when I'm an equestrian citizen, and one in navy blue when I'm the merchant/craftsman, a black one with medium blue (for Charon when we use that character in the arena), and a medium-bright yellow one with navy for when I play the lanista. Flashy, but not sensational. A little gauche, actually, but nice, and seems appropriate for the part.

Hey guys, sorry for the double post. I'll make this thread the primary.
