The Short Tunic Erik, by Burgschneider, is a rugged and authentic piece made of heavy, coarsely woven cotton fabric. The short version of the tunic is ideal for hunters or blacksmiths, and is traditionally worn belted. The neckline is designed with a slit for ease of wearing, which can be closed with a decorative brooch. The tunic is comfortable to wear and easy to wash, but keep in mind that it may shrink a bit after its first wash, and should not be dried in a machine.
