Will our characters be restricted in what materials they can have in their clothing? I know that during certain times some fabrics and colors were restricted to different levels of society…
Are you talking about the legendary “Black is only for the rich, because it’s hard to make”?
Because I heard it is just as simple as putting a little piece of iron in your colour-dying kettle. I don’t know if this is true or not…
No, I more meant that the king or queen, depending on the era, set out what fabrics and colors people of different status could wear. There is a good article on it at http://www-personal.umd.umich.edu/~cfinlay/sumptuary.html#Sumptuary
Well judging by the article I think we can assume that this is not the case in Bohemia 59 years before the first English act on the matter. But of course… I might be wrong. Feel free to investigate more

Oh, I agee, and I not lobbying for the inclusion of sumptuary laws, I’m just curious if they are going to include them and, if there are, what they will be like since different countries had different laws at different times. 
Here is a good page that covers a lot of different countries and there laws. It makes a good starting point to look deeper into different era’s and countries. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumptuary_law
