Brown Velvet
Tunic
Looks
like this is the costume that Peter chooses to wear at Cair Paravel.
It's more elegant and less like battle wear—most likely
an outfit preserved by the magic of the treasure chamber from
his kingship 1300 years in the past.
His tunic is velvet, in a shade of deep brown. The velvet is
worn, looking slightly moth-eaten in places. It's edged at the
front opening, hem, and sleeves in what looks like a brown-on-brown
waffle weave fabric, which can be seen particularly well at the
neck in this image.
The edges are also faced with this waffle weave fabric, but not
fully lined with it. It is, however, sewn to the lining: see in
this image the
diagonal seam running down from the neckline corners? You can
just make out the brown lining layer at the seam there—silk,
perhaps?
The detachable sleeves are also lined in the waffle weave fabric,
with eyelets across the the top of the shoulder and leather lacings
loosely joining the sleeve to the armhole. It doesn't attach to
the armhole under the arm, as you can see it lifting in this
image, but it is sewn together there, so it's really a whole
sleeve. There's an emblem of gold embroidery on each sleeve cap;
looks like it might be a royal symbol of some sort: possibly from
the bit we can see in this
image, a trio of oak leaves inside a triangle, with a lot
of twisting banners.
It buttons up the front, with loops and about eight or nine metal
embossed buttons. You can buy these buttons here.
The left
side of the tunic is embroidered in gold—a long emblem similar
to the emblems on his sleeves. This looks like a long scepter,
with a vine twining around it.
The shirt worn under the tunic looks to be a coarse woven cotton
or wool. The sleeves are long and full, gathered into the armscye—you
can see the lines of the gathering or pleating under the gap between
sleeve and armscye in this
image—as well as into a long cuff, which looks to lace
to itself over the placket that's on the thumb side of his wrist.
It has a round neck edged in a self-fabric corded piping, possibly
twisted. It's hard to tell exactly what's going on with that trimming.
He wears tan trousers and knee-high boots. He carries his sword
and belt, shield and strap, the latter of which can be seen in
this image. Also in that image
he's carrying a large brown bag, Narnian by the design, unlike
Edmund, who was carrying his bag from England when they were pulled
into Narnia.
