I'd like to see more such info myself, especially since the time  
period you give is only slightly after my own persona's.

I don't think I have anything as specific as you are looking for, but  
you might want to take a look at this file in the CLOTHING section of  
the Florilegium:
cl-academic-msg   (20K)  8/27/04    Medieval academic clothing.

And of course when you find out more information, I'd appreciate  
either a message or two I could add to this file, or perhaps even a  
complete article. My standard policy on such info is that the  
copyright remains with the author and I will accept updates at any time.
