So, I've been reading a book on the middle ages that has a general overview of (mostly) the 1300's to 1400's, which is the late middle ages. It's a great resource, but I was hoping for a broad take. So, I thought it'd be handy to discuss clothing and fashion in the early-high middle ages. Like;
What materials were the most common?
What material was attainable, but rare?
What patterns were available to the rich?
What was 'fashionable' for nobles?
How diverse was the colour spectrum?
How quickly did fashion evolve in those days?
I'm not looking for any specific answers to these questions, they're just discussion points. It would be great for me to look at this thread as a sort of reference to medieval clothing.
