I’m interested in putting together a wardrobe of Irish Celtic garb. Theoretically this means a “leine”, “brat” and possibly a “mantle” worn with a belt, ghille style shoes and pennanular brooch. The problem I’m having is conceptualizing the overall look. I expect a fair number of SCA folks do Irish clothing. There is a lot of textual research, but not much in the way of pictures. I like to look at the pictures to give my mind a pallette of colors, design types and especially the shape of the garments as worn. Maybe some of the clever SCA researcher types who look at my journal can point me in the right direction.
