I'll see what I can hammer together, but off the top of my head I can name 
some good sources, either SCA or other living-history groups we have dealt 
with.

http://www.ironage.demon.co.uk/brigantia/kit_clothing.htm - Iron Age era, 
same as us, but the dress styles didn't change all that much between then 
and the 10th century

http://www.celticgarb.org/persona/inventory.html - an SCA site, again, same 
period as above, but with more SCA-specific info (and I like the way they do 
their encampments, too! :-) hehehe)

http://www.gallica.co.uk/celts/clothing.htm agus 
http://www.gallica.co.uk/celts/clothing2.htm - limited info, but usefull for 
comparisons and pics and such.


Hope that helps a bit
