The front-and-back split tunic is classically Norman, because fighting
on horseback was such a distinguishing feature of the ruling class, so
it's distinct from the preceding Saxon style. The deep edging round
hem, cuffs and neckline is seen as a plain facing in Norman dress, lots
of fancy embroidery is more Saxon / Viking / Germanic (Normans
emphatically do NOT do bling!) The baggy trousers and boots might imply
the wearer is aiming for Russ Viking, but a Russ tunic would have wide
skirts rather than a split.

That is S.C.A. A.D.2000, actually. The picture is from an SCA Photo Album
web page.
