Its said that short tunics are typical from earlier ages than long ones and that can be seen since viking times. In truth short tunics favor more comfortable combat guard positions because wearer freer legs. Anyway our "short tunic" is included into the "cotee" section and is very similar to the Type 1 pieces of the Nockert catalog. Is perfect for those reenactors that give it all in the heat of the battle. Light and comfortable, is made of cotton linen and antiqued to give a more rustic and historical look.
