Greetings, medievalists and historians of the Middle Ages! I'm not sure if this kind of question is conventional here, but I need help so here I go anyways. Basically, my goal is to provide a service for world-builders and writers by having one of the best and regularly updated lists of medieval clothing on the internet. I already have a list of more clothing articles I need to add to this list, but I just want to make sure that what I have here already is accurate because people are already using it. A lot of these terms are rare and I've been using the online Oxford Dictionary to trace them back into history. A few kind people already pointed out some mistakes which I fixed, but it's hard for me to believe that everything else is correct despite me not being able to see the mistakes because I'm the one who made it. So, please, if you have the time and knowledge of medieval clothing, I'd love for you to help me in providing the above-mentioned service for people by making sure this list is as accurate as possible. Thank you so much. Here's the link: https://timothyrjeveland.com/2020/06/25/list-of-medieval-clothing-terms/
Hi there - we're happy to approve your question related to your creative project, and we are happy for people to answer. However, we should warn you that many flairs have become reluctant to answer questions for aspiring novelists and the like, based on past experience: some people working on creative projects have a tendency to try to pump historians for trivia while ignoring the bigger points they were making, while others have a tendency to argue with historians when the historical reality does not line up with what's needed for a particular scene or characterization. Please respect the answers of people who have generously given you their time, even if it's not always what you want to hear.
Additionally, as amazing as our flair panel is, we should also point out that /r/AskHistorians is not a professional historical consultation service. If you're asking a question here because you need vital research for a future commercial product such as a historical novel, you may be better off engaging a historical consultant at a fair hourly rate to answer these questions for you. We don't know what the going rate for consultancy work would be in your locality, but it may be worth looking into that if you have in-depth or highly plot-reliant questions for this project. Some /r/AskHistorians flairs could be receptive to working as a consultant in this way. However, if you wish for a flair here to do this work for you, you will need to organize this with them yourselves.
