There is descriptions for "franks", and one frome Apollinaris for the ripuarians antrostjas of Sigismer in 470.
For ourselves, we have took the side of crossing the early M.A. norvegian/germanic founds and the "frankish" descriptions (dont remember the authro, maybe Apollinaris too..? saying tight sleeves, short tunic upper the knees, etc..).
Another way is according Agathias, that said some parts of the frankish troops have keeped their own clothes, he spoke about the armoricans, with +/- roman fittings..
The first cloisonné example i know for merovingians is the Childerick's grave, but it seem to have been worked near Constantinopois, certainly given by Attila or someone else during hi journey to the east between 449 and 457..
