|>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,
