Hi Gregor,
Quote:The cloak and the spear are loaned from a friend plus the tunic is made of linen as I couldn't get any off-white wool at the time and the linen was cheap. It is made after an egyptian tunic in "Roman Military Clothing (2)", which is probably more of a 3rd century style whereas belt and helmet are 4th century.So what's wrong with a linen tunic, that's just fine. the design isn't wrong, either, maybe the sleeves could be narrower (which you can alter with a sewing machine in 10 minutes). A spearhead can be bought without great cost, i think the only really missing item is the shield.
