[Regia-NA] The fundamental Saxon Tunic

[Mark Patchett]

Hi Wulfhere,
Have a look here -- there's an article that my wife wrote which is a good
introduction:

Feel free to contact her at: aedwen@regia.ca if you have any questions.

-Edward of Wynmerestow ( Ontario, Canada )

PS: I'm guessing that the short pants/undergament would be a set of braies -
which are basically just that - a pair of loose, approximately knee length
"shorts", worn with hose or as an undergarment.
