King Tut is often shown wearing a shenti, the kilt that was one of the main garments for men. In some portraits he wears a long linen robe. The clothing from his tomb included tunics, many of them beaded or adorned with gold, finely woven loincloths, sandals, socks designed with a space next to the big toe to wear with the sandals, sashes and sleeves designed to look like wings. Royal linen for undergarments and outer wear was often fine to the point of transparency, revealing the body and keeping the king cool in Egypt's desert climate. Expert weaving and tailoring went into Tut's garments.One elaborately woven tunic would have taken months to complete.
