Try the page I have given the URL for below. There's a sumptious color picture of a royal dalmatic (i.e., a tunic) in the Kunsthistorische Museum, Vienna from about 1130 C.E. (it's about a third of the way down the page). An ordinary German man would not have worn anything of silk, or with such sumptuous embroidery, but the cut likely would have been similar. There's a black-and-white photo of an earlier German tunic on the same page, but there's a problem with the neckline as it's shown there--you'll see what I mean if you look at it. http://www.virtue.to/articles/extant.html > Would the German people at this time be considered the Franks?
