Thanks for posting the link to my article Peronis.
I would like to point out though that I was writing about the first century AD, whereas I think the original question here was to do with later period clothing.
Unless I am very wrong, soldiers in the later empire already wore long sleeved tunics and trousers, as well as enclosed shoes, cloaks and fur hats. That would probably be enough to start with on a chilly day I would have thought.
