So what is "ancient"? before recordered history? I have been making (interpreting) some of designs that are described as pre 900...basic clothing that is compared with Roman and Greekdraping and fittings..as counterparts to Northern China extant pieces. Can you point me to more recent sources that may record Asian Costume of the time you see as Ancient? Unfortunately, Max Tilke in "Costume Patterns and Design" does not give dates to place the clothing development for the garments he offers in the international Costumes he introduces.

"Mongol Costume" is an analysis of garments brought back by late 1930's Danish expeditions. Don't get me wrong, it's a great book, and provides insightful analysis of the evolution of Mongol clothing, but if you're looking for "ancient" this isn't the book you want.
