==A list of commonly referred to and controversial clothing styles in the [[SCA]]==
Some of these are misnomers, unrepresentative of the breadth of clothing of the medieval period, or are often poorly reproduced. However, they are the style names current in [[Lochac]], and a beginner costumer will often encounter them.
A good glossary of such terms (in their many uses) can be found at the following external link:
