Woolen textiles became various garments:
The Cloak:
The primary outer garment—large rectangle of fulled wool, worn wrapped around the body or pinned at the shoulder. The cloak was blanket, tent, and coat combined. At night, it became bedding. During travel, it provided shelter from rain.
The Tunic:
The basic shirt—pulled over the head, belted at the waist, reaching to mid-thigh or knee. Worn by both men and women (with different lengths and cuts), the tunic was everyday garment, functional and practical.
The Trews:
Close-fitting trousers worn by men—providing leg protection during riding, hunting, or warfare. Trews were expensive garment (requiring significant fabric and careful tailoring), marking the wearer as someone of means.
The Shawl:
Women’s shoulder covering—smaller than a cloak, more decorative, often elaborately patterned. The shawl could carry infant, provide warmth, or display the weaver’s skill through complex patterns.
