While painting my Old Glory 25/28mm Ancient Germans, I note that many of the command figures (standard bearers, horn blowers) have a tabard they are wearing over either a bare chest or a tunic top. I am not sure where the sculptor got this idea or if they should be a certain colour(s). (ie brighter colour because of their position – design – etc?) Does anyone know anything about this article of clothing? |

We'd need to see a decent photo of the figures, I should think: "tabard" doesn't really match anything I can recall about early German clothing. |

It's an 'interesting' interpretation of a sleeveless tunic. Just paint as you would any other fabric. They weren't heraldic tabards or anything of the sort. |
