Get down to the Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester this week-end pronto and see the Clothing and Culture exhibition and while you are there buy the catalogue!
Failing that you are welcome to come and visit and look through my library, I am always happy to help out. That goes for you too Robert.
I certainly recognize the design in the Orbiculi in Johns top tunic they look good although the original designs generally tend to be blue almost black purple. Not too sure about those in the linen tunic I can't see the detail but when I saw John's tunic in York they looked too modern to me.
