Often lauded as the two of the best books by medieval reenactors:
1381: The Peel Affinity seeks to show a year in the life of a knight’s holding, but it shows some earlier and later subjects too. Text and lots of color photos.
Medieval Military Costume shows a broader range of clothing than just the military, and while it focuses on the 15th century, it has some coverage beginning in the Viking Age down to the 16th century. Many photos with brief explanatory text.
