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: Marc Carlson's "Some Clothing of the Middle ages; Glossary"

  • Generic early period t-tunic
  • "10 gore dress" - a 14th century style worn by Vikings in Greenland. The "gore" referred to as a husband's intestines, which would be worn on the sleeve of an ex wife; it symbolized that a husband had commited adultery. It adds side gores and more advanced sleeve caps (early set in sleeves) on a basic T-tunic to give more shaping to a gown.
  • viking clothing - most often used to refer to early period Scandinavians, i.e. men in t-tunics and leg wraps, and women in the controversial to reconstruct "apron dresses"
  • Burgundian clothing
  • Norman bliaut
  • Italian Renaissance - actually refers to a variety of substyles, all of which have in common
  • Elizabethan clothing
  • The great-kilt - read carefully, there are many misconceptions about this article of clothing, which is a belted cloak worn in late medieval Scotland, not the modern pleated skirt.
  • Cotehardie
