The tunic hangs straight from the shoulders in front, is semi-fitted in back above the waist, and flared below the waist by means of triangular inserts.

History Of Use
Woolen tunics are worn in the summer, fur in the winter. Women's tunics and men's tunics differ little in design, but women's tunics are longer and sometimes collarless, while men's usually have a stand-up collar. Men's tunics are belted below the waist, women's at the waist.
