==Making your own square neck hole==

In many ways making a faced square neck hole is easier than a round one. You need less facing material and in my experience the facing strips are quicker to apply.<br>

The finished facing width should be between 25 to 40mm and I would say not to go any wider than this. My personal opionion is that the facing material should always be at least as posh and fine in weave as the tunic cloth. It appears that due to newly opened trade routes to the east that silk was more readily available in the 11th century than before and so may have been used for facing on tunics [Fleming 2007]. But please use it sparingly. <br>

The ties can be made from simple braided linen or wool and attached to the corners of the facing. The Goliath images, see fig.1 and fig.2, suggest that they can be ended with either knots or small beads but be warned, from experience these have a bad habit of bouncing around and hitting you in the face!<br>
