We are not entirely sure how tunics were sold. Some were clealy sold as suits because the color and material of the tunic and pants matched as well as detailing. Mant tunics suits were very plain, but some had detailing which was repeated on yhe pants. But this was not always the case. Even if the pants did not match the tunic, it does not mean that they were not sold together. We do not see marthing jackets and pants being commonly worn together with suits until the 1860s. The same may be the case for tunics. But it meant that any pants could be worn with tunics. And of course with pantalettes,. We see white pantlettes being worn with tunics, but were probbly sold separately and not as a suit.
