I don't know how I missed the Kickstarter for this project, but I just learned over the weekend that there is a new book coming out: Nicole DeRushie. Bog Fashion--Recreating Bronze and Iron Age Clothes. (Chronocopia Publishing, 2025). The Kickstarter has ended, but Chronocopia Publishing will soon be selling the book on their website, and eventually other booksellers will have it available for sale as well. The book's page on the Chronocopia site can be viewed here,and a short bio of Ms. DeRushie can be read here.
The Chronocopia site does not indicate what the price of the book will be, but it's a hardcover book (probably in the same general format as An Early Meal, Daniel Serra's book about Viking age Scandinavian food). Still, I'm planning to buy Bog Fashion when I can, because the page about it on Chronocopia's site indicates that it will be well-illustrated as well as well-researched. Its scope is "Bronze and Iron Age fashion from Northern and Western Europe," and it includes detail from all phases of costume construction, from spinning and weaving the thread into cloth to the creation of accessories.
If, like me, you are fascinated by the clothing of Bronze Age and Iron Age Europe, you'll want this one for your collection.
