A cloak was worn over this. So regarding the tunic, it was more skirt-like than like our trousers. In the larger Greco-Roman world, trousers were not worn by men, except by the Germans and others regarded as barbarians.

Verses in the New Testament which speaks of Jesus one piece outer coat?
Is that what you were referring to?
The trousers worn by the Judeans were like those worn by their Persian captors.
