Overview
Wool Roman Tunic - Red - Deepeeka
Made of thick wool dyed to a deep red, this tunic is a must for the serious Roman reenactor or anyone wanting authentic looking Roman garb. Tunics similar to this were worn by both civilians and Roman legionaries. While civilians would wear them hanging straight down to their knees, soldiers would wear them ''bloused'' up with a belt so the bottom was at about the mid thigh length. This look was part of what distinguished a soldier, and they took it very seriously; so much so, that a common form of military punishment for minor offenses was to be forced to stand at attention without a belt. This caused the tunic to baggily hang to the knees and was considered very humiliating to the soldier.
One size fits most. Belt available separately.

red wool tunic perfect weight red wool, machine finished hems not doubled over so there will be some raveling of the hems. not sure if it’s pre washed wool? I washed it and the water was pink afterward, but as it is not form fitting it’s no big deal.
Very well made! It’s certainly thick and a bit scratchy without a shirt underneath it, but I stood outside in 100 degree weather for over an hour wearing this underneath the rest of my kit (subarmalis, lorica hamata, helmet, the whole nine yards) and I was significantly less miserable than I expected.
100% satisfied with this purchase, the wool is of high quality and the stitching is very well done. Fits perfectly on me.
Tunica is better than I expected. Wool is a high quality and fits perfectly on me and I’m a smaller/thinner guy. 100% satisfied and would recommend!
