Gallic clothing has changed little in the last thousand years. It is a matter of pride to them to honor traditional ways with traditional dress, and they stubbornly reject more tailored styles and binding clothes.  Sometimes clothes are held closed with pins or fibulae.  They prefer bright colors, often stripes or plaids.  These patterns are used to identify one's tribe or clan. Sleeves may be long or short, and both men and women wear two or three layers to protect against the chill of foggy summer nights and icy winter days in the Gallic hills.  While Galacians tend to make their outerwear of wool, undergarments are generally linen or even Elven silks.   The outer layer, particularly in men, may take the form of a toga-like great kilt.  This rectangular piece of cloth is folded a bit like an accordion and wrapped around the body as a combination kilt/cape/hood.  This style of dress is particularly common among more Western and Southern Gaels.  It was also found in the Mithraic highlands before they began adopting more Western styles of dress. 


The Highlanders of Mithraea still occasionally maintain their original dress (particularly for community events like weddings and funerals), but more and more have come to dress like the Mithraics in the cities to their south.  Even while dressing like any other resident of the Kingdom, however, they often wear a bit of plaid or  striped cloth as a symbol of their clan ties.  This cloth could be a belt, purse, sash, vest, hood, or other garment.

Gaels prefer silver jewelry over gold, but do wear both.  Their jewelry is very well made and intricate despite simple modeling and casting techniques such as carving the mold in a deer antler or cow bone.

Gaels, both men and women, keep their hair long and often un-bound.   Men often wear mustaches and/or beards, sometimes very long.  Both Gallic men and women can and do carry weapons, generally one-handed swords or leaf-bladed daggers and spears.
