Description
Men's dark blue wool tunic. The tunic has high standing collar and centre front opening with hook and eye closure, edged with green wool. The tunic hangs straight from the shoulders in front, back is slightly fitted above waist and is flared below the waist by means of triangular gores. There are multicoloured bands (red predominating) of wool textile, embroidered ribbons and rickrack at collar, shoulders, neck opening, upper back, cuffs and bottom hem. There is a concealed inner pocket on the chest, accessible through the centre front opening. The inside is unlined.
History Of Use
Woolen tunics are worn in the summer, fur in the winter. Women's tunics and men's tunics differ little in design; men's tunics usually have a stand-up collar. Men's tunics are worn with trousers or leggings and fur shoes. The bold colours of the costume make a person visible against snow at long distances.
Narrative
