Yes indeed, I think it's almost undoable to determine any differense in Germanic versus Celtic clothing.
Ever sins there's even lesser direct evidence for Celtic clothing then for Germanic.
My point of view is that the Northern Bogfinds are a pretty desent start to begin with wether depicting Late Celts or Germanics...
The other thing would be sculptural abd written inderect evidense, but that offcourse we new allready...
thurder I would say go easy on the checked clothes I just resently learned (also here) that the plain versus checked/striped clothing is something like fifty fifty. Being aproximatly checked 40 and stiped 10 persend more or less, give or take....
Then comes the hard part if you want to be verry exact try to find or let somebody make checked or striped cloths only made up from two colores... (I know this will disapoint a lot of Celtic/Germanic reenactors including me) Because I belief checked cloth made up from more then 2 colores is very rare...
If somebody can proof me wrong or is abble to back me up on this, please do...
