  It would be impossible for me to express my feelings about the series of books that this tome represents, and this work specifically without sounding like a total suck-up. These people clearly work hard to do the sort of recreation many of us are only able to dream about. I would prefer it if we didn't have to simply rely on an estimate of their scholarship, but were able to actually able to more fully appreciate that scholarship by the publication of their notes. However, there seems to be a point that either you blindly accept the word of the experts, or dig into the information more dilligently. I am pleased to report though, that the material that I've found here and looked to support, has, for the most part, been relatively easy to document.
• Eyewitness Books
  This is a nice series of picture books for children, and much of the material in them I have found in more scholastically sound materials.

  This work is fantastic, and is clearly one of the major sources that later authors derive their materials from.
• Köhler, Karl, 1825-1876. A History of costume New York: Dover Publications, 1963
  A reprint  of the 1928 translation and revision of Praktische Kostümkunde (pre-1876).  It still has its uses, but it is dangerous in that most people don't realize just how old it is.
• McClintock, H. F. Old Irish dress and that of the Isle of Man : with a chapter on pre-Norman dress as described in early Irish literature. Dundalk [Ire.]: Dundalgan Press, 1950.
  In many ways, this still seems to be THE work in this field, although the material in Dunlevy does supercede it to a great extent.

  These can have useful material in them, but you will want to use them with caution since there is not much actual citation to them.
