Hello Tim
Thanks, however remember I am an illustrator not a weaver so excuse the bias. I presume you are after first century Legionary tunics etc..for Northern Europe? Sadly not much to go on so you have to look further afield and generally to later periods as Claire will show you. However if you want to be as accurate as possible then it is best not to rush and do some research of your own before starting. Try tracking down the articles by Hero Granger Taylor listed in my Bibliography. Also look for the articles on the Nahal Hever tunics.
Winter gear in the main seems to consist of more of everything so you can have under, as well as over cloaks. But if you want accurate designs for these sadly they do not exist. The best ideas for paenula cloaks are those shown in the articles I have suggested.

Quote:Graham Sumner has produced an excellent and in my opinion near exhaustive, and objective study of colour, but I do not feel has really thrashed out weaves and stitching.
