The Length of Tunics in that Time
As she soon discovered, in those days, the average man did wear a tunic but it was never full length. All men in those days wore knee-length tunics that enabled them to perform their work and get around with ease. Anything longer would have not been practical.
Who Wore Robes Down to the Ground?
Joan discovered that there we different classes of people in those days and the upper-class sometimes wore full-length clocks or robes to show-off the fact that they did not need to work for a living and could, therefore, afford to wear garments that restricted their movements. This is another clue that Jesus never wore long robes. He was a poor man.
