This is a very interesting thread. I'm impressed with xoconostle's wisdom and accuracy about ancient Mexican cultures. Besides the sacrifices and other badly publicitized facts, the Aztecs were a great culture full with wisdom, family values, and good feelings. The same can be stated about the Mayas and other mexican precolombian cultures.
I have not seen a single product for Poser figures which is a real representation of the aztec's clothes.
My nephew has made a lot of animation and illustration about aztecs' clothes and lifes, but he hates poser, he does all his work in Maya.
If you can sometime come to Mexico City, go the National Anthropology Museum. It is full with displays of all cultures, showing the temples, schools, markets, crafts, etc, and of course all kinds of clothes..
If you can't make the trip, go to your bookstore or Library and find one of the many books writtten on this museum. It will have for sure a lot of pictures which will give you all the detail you might need..
