Clothing/Materials Reference (Full List)

Clothing/Materials reference (Full List)

Updated: 4-18-2009

This is a lexicon of clothing names, clothing containers, techniques and textiles, and fabrics for use for creative writing or as a general reference. Interesting adjectives have also been included where applicable to clothing. As this is a growing list, if you would like to add an item please email me with the information and I'll be happy to verify and add it (references at the bottom). There are many conventional/contemporary, specialty, vintage, classical, antique and ancient references. Circa/Time periods when the term came into use (not necessarily the item itself as language and vocabulary is an ever evolving thing) are added here or on more detailed, corresponding Sub-lists as I organize things.

• Words listed below may not completely match words on Sub-list pages – Sub-list pages are more detailed with very likely longer word lists, circa, definitions, uses, references and links.

• This document is divided alphabetically by topic categories, not individual items. (Category links to supporting pages for easier search in work.)

• Note: Some armor pieces are listed, but armor is not the focus of this document. Eventually, armor may be its own Sub-list.
