Threads for Thought: The Long Shirt

Tunics are distinguished by their classic fit in the chest and shoulders, but with a much longer torso that is designed to rest at or below your run-of-the-mill suit jacket.

My shirts might as well be considered tunics being as long as they are (I'm tall), but it has proved hard to find an actual tunic length shirt that I can get a proper look at; fashion is full of diamonds in the rough, you have to dig through some shit to find some gold. I suggest going in and trying at least one on before you make your decision on this style as it just might not be for you,especially if you're short.
