What period is this reproduction tunic from?

This tunic is a reproduction of a very rare RFC tunic from WWI. It is a good addition to WW1 uniforms. The tunic is almost identical to original officers' maternity tunics from that period. It is a first-rate copy of the Maternity Tunic.

How does the tunic secure at the front?

The tunic secures at the front with internal, hidden buttons. It has hooks and eyelets on the right shoulder to secure the front flap. The epaulettes are also secured in the same way. The two lower pockets are secured with a single flap.

How does the collar fit on the tunic?

The collar fit is inconsistent, with some tunics having a collar that is too large. Some collars measure 19.5 inches, which is larger than expected, while others are 15.5 inches. One tunic had a collar that was several inches too small.

What is included with the tunic?

The tunic itself is included, made from barathea wool. Insignia is not included with the tunic. Whipcord breeches to accompany the tunic will be available separately.

What are the general observations about the quality of the tunic?
