1909 Military tunic...

I have photos in a couple books of these being worn. They can look like the wool version in photos, but you can tell them apart because the cotton one lacks lower pockets.

This photo was posted on another XMarks thread. It shows the cotton drill tunic very well.



I intend on getting one myself, for my Black Watch piper's kit. I saw one of these WPG cotton drill tunics being worn and it looked very nice.

I am 6'0" and they recommended a 40 long, in retrospect it should have been a 40 regular. I'm not sure how much longer the long is over the regular, but less length would be preferable. Having said that I have seen a period photo where the tunic does appear to be quite long. I should mention WPG did offer to exchange it for a regular, but the cost for me to ship it back to them would make this too expensive an option. I also washed it so didn't feel it was fair to return it. I will see how it works and if it really looks odd, I'll either get it altered, or buy a 40 regular.

Thanks for the heads-up McRoy. I think I'll order the regular.
