    Sure they do. Renaissance fairs are still a fairly common event each year, and making a T-tunic is easier and less expensive than designing a full chain-mail suit of armor. T-tunics can also be used in creating cosplays, which are also rather prevalent in today's pop culture.

    Why aren't these still more in style? They're amazing. Tunics, cloaks, and chain mail- I love them so much and I know I'm not the only one.

    They are great, but style has evolved and more trends have been placed in today's society. However, if you enjoy the style you should wear them.

    That would be perfect, and try to go barefoot, or with sandals.

    If you are using a sewing pattern, it should tell you. Otherwise, calculate the area of each of the pieces of fabric and add them up. Make sure to take scraps into account.

    Synthetic fabrics like the ones we have today didn’t exist back in the Renaissance period. Go with a natural fabric such as cotton or linen for authentic and comfortable garb.
