Sarah's Lincoln Green Infiltration Tunic and Tights

A medieval-style tunic and tights dyed in vibrant lincoln green wool, specifically chosen for woodland camouflage. The tunic falls to mid-thigh with a fitted but comfortable cut, while the tights cling to the legs with enough stretch to allow quick movement. Slightly worn at the seams from prior wear, the fabric carries the scent of campfire smoke and wool lanolin. Sarah sheds her serving wench dress to reveal this hidden costume beneath, using it to transform from a lowly kitchen worker into a forest-ready infiltrator within seconds.
