Firstly, I wouldn't be too constrained by the analog. There's a lot of Indian flavor in the Lunar Empire as well, and I have lifted certain Cambodian things for other parts of Glorantha.
Second, people in a port city may well dress funny.
Third, there may be a lot of fashion conservatism (don't people at Oxford still wear medieval costumes to this day?). So maybe his order originated at a time when people dressed lke he wants to.

If they arrive from Jrustela, they're not human. But there are known to be Seshnelan adventurers in the Dragon Pass region...

Draconic Lore was his own specialty. He was mostly learning from the archives, we didn't have a group doing this. You could create one, of course.

Good thought! I've done some Imperial Age gaming and it's a lot of fun. There's even Rough Guide to Pavis City (available from The Chaos Society), which describes Pavis in the year 894 ST, if you don't want to invent everything.
