Questions about the product Medieval surcoat Eckhart, red/natural

What material is the medieval coat Eckhart made of, and what special features does its cut have to allow for freedom of movement?

The Eckhart medieval surcoat is made of 100% cotton. For optimal freedom of movement, it features side slits extending to the waist, as well as a slightly shorter slit in the center of both the front and back. Its cut is typically simple and straight.
What historical sources served as a model for the design of the Eckhart tunic, and for what kind of events is it recommended?

The design of the Eckhart surcoat is based on historical depictions from the 12th to 14th centuries, such as those found in the Stuttgart Psalter, the Maciejowski Bible (Crusader Bible), or the Codex Manesse. It is particularly recommended for medieval events, knightly portrayals, reenactment, LARP, or cosplay.
What historical functions did a tunic like the Eckhart model originally fulfill on the battlefield, and how can the slits on the front and back be functionally explained?

The tunic originally served to identify combatants on the battlefield by their colors and crests, and to protect metal armor from dirt and extreme heat from sunlight. The slits at the front and back were functionally necessary to allow the wearer unrestricted freedom of movement while riding and fighting.
What color combinations are available for the Eckhart tunic besides red/natural, and how should the garment be cared for according to the manufacturer?

Besides the red/natural color combination, the Eckhart tunic is available in numerous other variations, including blue/natural, black/red, blue/yellow, yellow/black, and many other two-tone combinations. The manufacturer explicitly recommends hand washing to protect the durable cotton fabric and preserve the color vibrancy over time.
