This tunic is one of two that I was commissioned to make for a friend. This one will be for fighting in. It is black linen with herringbone embroidery on the collar, cuffs and hem. The seams have split stitch on them to hide the machine stitching (I'm not crazy!) and on the sleeves is the boar from his device. I am very pleased with how this turned out.
The next tunic is blue and is a court or non fighting tunic. As the embroidery progresses I will post pictures of that.
