First things first

My main resource for Irish dress is Old Irish and Highland Dress by McClintock, but it appears to be a widely quoted book on the subject. Since there seems to be little known about Irish dress in the medieval period, then we have to go with what we find. Unfortunately, his book was only published in 1943. The only other sources that I'm aware of off the top of my head would be the Book of Kells. I know there are others, but not many. Hopefully I can find more to add to this. I know I have website information printed out at home, so hopefully I can either make a link list for all of these sites, or simply start by copying their information here, so I don't have to worry about the sites going down.
