Re: [h-cost] What period/country etc is this tunic?
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.

One is wearing a corset / waist cincher in a fairly odd fabric that I found and quite liked (sort of green camo pattern with flocked leaves). One is wearing the corset that should ahve gone under my wedding dress, (but I threw a tantrum over the design and started the bodice from scratch...). One (male) is wearing one of a pair of early roughly 1901 British Navy captain's uniforms that we rescued from a theatrical costumers that was closing in Leeds. They'd been adapted for either quick change or on-stage ripping, and had been split up the back and velcro added. They'd also been astonishingly badly repaired at some stage. I'm putting them back to what they should be like, (removing the bad repair work generally) and conserving where it's needed (re-inforcing the odd rip using conservation fabric, and pulling out the horrific nylon linins, etc). ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

That wouldnt be a 'kick pleat'. The tunic probably has a gore(s) set into the side seam. When it's hanging down, it can give the appearanced of a pleat.

Re: [h-cost] Gore training: was: What period/country etc is this tunic?
I think it has just fallen into a pleat because of the way he has hiked the tunic up into his belt, and the fact that the trim looks to be stiffer than the main fabric, so it folds rather than gathering or rippling. It might also have a fold in the trim from how he has kept it in the cupboard! The standard pattern for an early medieval tunic or dress (exactly the same except for length) is a four-gore t-tunic, like the Nockert Type 1 on Marc Carlson's pages http://www.personal.utulsa.edu/~marc-carlson/cloth/tunics.html (be warned, some of the links on these pages no longer work). When you make a centre-split tunic, you just miss out the front and back gores. And it's really hard to make the split hang straight. You need the side gores for movement, but when he stands still, the centre either crosses or hangs open. Tweaking it with the belt is the only option, and if the front goes right, the sides will go wrong. Jean Saragrace Knauf wrote: Hmm, I can see what you are saying. You'd have to train the gore to lie like that right? I mean when I put a gore in it usually doesn't fold up on itself like that. This looks like it comes to a point on the outside and the underlying fabric is tucked back underneath it like a pleat almost creating a facing for the slit/point. Now, on the other hand, I recently draped some wool where it did just this. The only reason I am pushing the point, is I like the look but am suspicious of the authenticity of the way it is made/looks.

Re: [h-cost] Gore training: was: What period/country etc is this tunic ?
I find that putting simple gores in the sides of tunics tends to create the look without any effort on my part. The type of fabrics used in this style tends to have alot of body and the front and back pieces maintain their shape (relativley speaking) whihc forces the gores to sort of fold up and look 'pleaty'.
