Medieval tunic eckhart, mi-parti, natural/black

This calf-length tunic is made from durable cotton fabric. It has a straight cut and side slits down to the waist. The front and back also have a slightly shorter center slit.

The tunic (also called a coat of arms ) emerged in the 12th century and was worn by knights over their armour or chain mail. Firstly, it protected the wearer from sunlight on the battlefield, and the different colour combinations made it clear in the hustle and bustle of battle who was the enemy and who was the friend. Mi-parti refers to the colour division (usually two-coloured) of clothing, as popularly worn in the Middle Ages. The most common was the vertical division, although a checkerboard division also occurred. Colour symbolism played an important role. Depictions of uniforms divided into two colours can be found, for example, on the Stuttgart Psalter and the Morgan m.804 chroniques . In general, there are numerous pictorial representations of medieval tunics, for example in the Maciejowski Bible (also Crusader Bible ), a medieval illustrated Bible from the 13th century, and in the Codex Manesse , a manuscript songbook from the early 14th century.

The simple, straight cut is typical of the tunic. For an authentic look, we recommend combining it with a leather belt.
