Raksts ir veltīts plašai un daudzveidīgai lietisko avotu apakšgrupai -- apģērbam. Raksta mērķis ir noskaidrot apģērba kā vēstures avota informatīvo kapacitāti jeb to, cik plašu un daudzveidīgu informāciju pētnieks varētu iegūt, analizējot šo lietisko avotu apakšgrupu. Rakstā ir aplūkota apģērba saikne ar indivīdu un tā nozīme sabiedrības vēstures izpētē, kā arī sniegts apģērbā ietverto iespējamo informatīvo slāņu raksturojums un to izmantošanas iespējas vēstures izpētē. Piemēriem galvenokārt izmantoti arheologu pētījumi par aplūkojamo tēmu, ko papildina etnologu, mākslas vēsturnieku, filozofu, psihologu un modes industrijas speciālistu atziņas.
