I like Tom's drawings for coloring in planned styles (if he's got something close to what I want to make), and letting my daughter color in copies for fun. But for a resource? Nope, not so much, not even for 16th century fashions as he, like Norris, edits his drawings. I'd rather go to the source, which I know for Celts can be difficult to find, especially before the 16th century.
May I suggest Dress in Ireland by Mairead Dunlevy instead. One of the best books on Irish/Celtic clothing, and she does point to original sources for further research. There are a few other books, but I'd start there.

What I would like to know is how reputable is this source? What I am looking for is Irish Celt in the 6th Century. I really like the style on the cover but the illustration states "Frankish Celts, ca 450 B.C."
