Erik Medieval Short Tunic
From Roman times through the Viking Age and into the high Middle Ages, the tunic was the foundational garment for men of every trade. Our Erik Medieval Short Tunic is crafted from a heavy, coarsely woven 100% cotton fabric that captures the rugged, authentic look of the era — the kind of piece a hunter, blacksmith, or traveling merchant would have worn without a second thought.
Worn belted, it hits at a flattering short length with a neck slit that makes it easy to pull on — and even easier to close decoratively with a robe brooch. Whether you're building a complete historical kit, heading to a ren faire, or just love that earthy, no-nonsense aesthetic, Erik is the piece your wardrobe has been missing.
