Clothing in the Middle Ages is one of my sub-specialties, and there's a fair
bit of knowledge about clothing around 1000, primarily from some of the
Viking finds; there's also Gale Owen-Crocker's work on Anglo-Saxon
clothing. What details do you need? I'd be able to give you basics
(principles of cut, fibres, dyes, etc.) and/or direct you to others with
very technical knowledge (e.g. how many fibres per inch on woven stuffs,
etc.). Feel free to contact me.
