One of the main limitations for recreating Roman attire from the Classical period is that the clavi stripes featured on the tunicae of higher class Romans were typically woven into the tunic on the loom. There are various options for striped fabric but none that easily fit a Roman tunic. I would recommend the following color schemes based on extant Roman paintings and statues for a production run:<\/p>\n
White base, red stripes, 0.5″ width, spaced 14″ – Roman Equite Tunic
\nWhite base, red stripes, 1.25″ width, spaced 14″ – Roman Senator Tunic
\nMint Green base, white stripes, 0.5″ width, spaced 14″ – Roman Fabri Laborer
\nWhite base, blue stripes, 0.5″ width, spaced 14″ – Roman Scholar’s Tunic
\nYellow base, red stripes, 0.5″ width, spaced 14″ – Pompeiian Dandy Tunic
\nBlue base, red stripes, 0.5″ width, spaced 14″ – Schola Cantorum Tunic<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
