Should garments be cut using geometric pieces, similar to the tunic found at Birka and on the Bocksten Bog man. Can we omit the front gussets?
Geometric pieces make for easier fitting when passing your clothes on to someone else. With regard to front panels or gussets; there are archaeological examples from 12C and 13C with front gussets on tunics (apparently not always set in dead centre! poor tailoring?). These are the same colour as the tunic. The Mammen tunic (970-971AD) would seem to have had a centre gusset – at least that is how it has been reconstructed in the National Museum in Copenhagen. I do know of some people in Regia with centre gussets in their tunics, but you can omit them as you can also omit side gussets.
