I think so. ESV John 19:
23 When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took his garments and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier; also his tunic. But the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
garments
ἱμάτια (himatia)
Noun - Accusative Neuter Plural
Strong's 2440: A long flowing outer garment, tunic. Neuter of a presumed derivative of ennumi; a dress.

G2440 (outer garments) is the direct object of the verb "took".

Then, what was his tunic?

tunic
χιτῶνα (chitōna)
Noun - Accusative Masculine Singular
Strong's 5509: A tunic, garment, undergarment. Of foreign origin; a tunic or shirt.

The G5509-tunic was a single-piece undergarment. It is also the direct object of the verb "took".

NIV:
23 When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
The soldiers took his outer garments and undergarment.

Wiki:
While a crucifixion was an execution, it was also a humiliation, by making the condemned as vulnerable as possible. Although artists have traditionally depicted the figure on a cross with a loin cloth or a covering of the genitals, the person being crucified was usually stripped naked.
Crucifixion was intended to be a gruesome spectacle: the most painful and humiliating death imaginable.[86][87] It was used to punish slaves, pirates, and enemies of the state. It was originally reserved for slaves (hence still called "supplicium servile" by Seneca), and later extended to citizens of the lower classes (humiliores).[31] The victims of crucifixion were stripped naked [31][88] and put on public display[89][90] while they were slowly tortured to death so that they would serve as a spectacle and an example.[86][87]
Did they crucify women?

Yes,
Eulalia of Barcelona was venerated as a saint. According to her hagiography, she was stripped naked, tortured, and ultimately crucified on an X-shaped cross.[169]

Was Jesus crucified completely naked?

Yes, he did that for you and me. It should have been our nakedness.

Some reports suggest they even crucified children.

It was truly an astoundingly difficult time to be a Christian at that time.
Even worse today, in the usa. Millions slaughtered every year. Coming Judgment is Certain.
