Questions about the product Medieval tunic Askur, cotton, black

What are the distinguishing features of the material of the medieval tunic Askur, and for which occasions is it particularly suitable?

The medieval tunic Askur is made of sturdy cotton canvas and adorned with hand-sewn decorative stitching. Due to its elaborate craftsmanship, it is suitable exclusively as an outer garment and is ideal for Viking reenactment, medieval markets, or as clothing for Norsemen. It is designed based on historical finds from the 11th century (the Man of Kragelund).
What historical finds served as a model for the design of the medieval tunic Askur, and how does its cut differ from a classical reconstruction?

The design of the medieval tunic Askur is based on the Nederfrederiksmose bog body, also known as the Kragelund Man, which was discovered in Denmark in 1898 and dated to the 11th century. The cut differs from a classic reconstruction primarily due to its modern adaptation to contemporary clothing sizes and the specific sleeve design, where the upper arm is wide and the lower arm is cut normally. Furthermore, inserted gussets (slant) at the sides and the front and back create a wide, flared shape from the hips down, while hand-stitched decorative stitching enhances the overall appearance.
How is the fit of the medieval tunic Askur designed, and what should be considered when choosing a size to guarantee an authentic and comfortable fit?

The medieval tunic Askur is designed for easy dressing and undressing, as well as comfortable wear. For an authentic fit and sufficient freedom of movement, you should choose your size based on your chest measurement. If you are between sizes, it is recommended to choose the larger size, as cotton can shrink slightly when washed. Ease allowances are already included in the pattern.
What care instructions should be followed when cleaning the Askur cotton tunic to ensure the longevity of the material and the hand-sewn decorative stitches?

To ensure the longevity of the Askur cotton tunic and its hand-sewn decorative stitching, it should ideally be hand-washed at a maximum temperature of 20°C. As it is made of sturdy cotton canvas, it is also recommended to air-dry it and avoid harsh detergents or high spin speeds to protect the fabric's structure and the delicate seams.
