Before I make any garment - modern or ancient - I prewash the fabric and throw it in the dryer, too. Then for wools and linens, they never "see" the inside of a dryer again. All subsequent washing of tunics is either by hand or machine in cold water. Then I hang them to dry. Wool actually drys fairly quickly.
I, too, have more than one, in fact I have several tunics and generally take more than one to reenactments and will bring both wool and linen to summer events. I have one wool tunic that I made back in 1991 and it is still doing well - only had to darn one small hole - and I wear it fairly often; it is a light-weight, good quality wool.
