I was going to say something similar but hesitated lest it would be too
easily be mistaken for a snark (please don't think I'm implying that that's
what you're doing!). In particular, I think it would be a mistake to assume
that the outfit as a whole is intended to represent a particular specific
time-and-place.

Exactly. It isn't *bad*, per se, but it's definitely a specific sort of
generic*, and that happens often enough to get its own designation. And
then us authenticity nuts get our hooks into them and they eventually end
up raising their own cows to make leather for shoes. *evil grin*

*like SCA Generic Middle Period, SCA Generic Late Period, and SCA Generic
Middle Eastern.
