|>Can anyone suggest good studies of clothing and its role in culture? |> I would recommend the late Arnold Rubin's _Art and Technology_ , which goes into clothing and ornamentation, and it's relationship to technology, at great length. If you are unable to locate it through library catalogues, I can look at my copy for publication details. Hope this helps, *** Craig M.
