I'm trying to figure out who the greater porpoise is. After attending Rag this year and getting a chance to meet some of the veterans around here it really could be any of them. BH, DB, Magnus (all of them), Tannhauser, Hivemind... heck I've got a bit of a paunch too. Hail the GREATER PORPOISE!
Now that I'm done trolling, I wanted to agree that the examples of min, max and unacceptable garb are very helpful. It's important to have all three. I'm also glad Magnus and Mirelle were the models, I'd hate to see what Alric would post if asked to present optimal garb.
Step 1: Build a time machine
Step 2: Go back in time and steal some authentic clothes
Step 3: Make Ilsa hand spin some more thread from 600 y/o icelandic goat hair... just because.
Step 4: Profit!

In the fourth picture down, the man is clearly wearing sweat pants. You have revised the rules to stipulate that sweat pants are not acceptable. Yet in 1.4 you state you may wear modern clothing if you make it appear non-obtrusive. Sweat pants can be altered in several ways to appear non-obtrusive, so how can you forbid them exclusively?
Sir Mirelle of Narnia:
Where does it say that sweat pants are not acceptable?
It's the full combination that is illegal, not just one piece of clothing. The t-shirt and bright sneakers with the combo of the sweatpants make it illegal.

Reading comprehension. You fail it.
The sweats in the picture are clearly mundane and have not been altered so as to be non-obtrusive. There is no rule that says "Sweat pants are not allowed." There is a picture of a guy in sweats as an example of unacceptable garb. The sweats in the picture are unacceptable, it is possible that sweats can be modified so as to be acceptable/unobtrusive under a period tunic (although, not worth it at all, just make some ** pants, it's not hard!). The only rule that mentions sweat pants specifically (1.3.1) is referring to what you may not wear when you are going bare-chested. If you find some way to alter sweatpants to the point where they are not obviously modern when worn without a shirt, I would argue that they have ceased to be sweatpants.
