Tailors & Seamstresses

Fear not, most of the price tables are very straightforward. Clothing is a little more complicated because it would actually necessitate a much longer article to list every item in every fabric option. The Time column has already been translated to Time Cost as well. Add it to the price of your material, and that is how much your clothing item costs. (Multiply how many yards are required by the cost of that material per yard.)

Korinthosi
Based on real-world ancient Greco-Roman and Egyptian styles.

Korinthosi fashion features primarily linen, goathair, and kidskin.

Chitons are popular in men and women of all classes. Patrician or upper merchant-class women, may opt for sheath dresses and shawls, while men might choose structured wrap skirts or short-sleeved tunics. Tradtional plebian wear for women is the loin skirt or wrap skirt. Abydosian draped trousers have taken hold and become the preferred garment for plebian men and women.

Sandals are the predominant form of footwear (see Cobblers & Milliners). Working-class people, particularly ones working on rocky, mountainous soil, tend toward ankle boots. Wide-brimmed rattan hats are common headwear among farming plebians. Women of all classes can wear scarves around or in their hair.
 
Semendric
Based on real-world Medieval and Renaissance Italian, French, and English styles.

Mender wool, leather, and imported linen are regular staples in Semendric garb. Lambskin and suede are the choices of luxury.

Semendric garb borrows many styles from the Digionic realms, symbolizing their close political ties and dating back to its breakaway from Korinthos. Menswear includes trousers in various styles, such as fitted-calf, loose, and structured, as well as loose shirts worn under tabards, jerkins, and doublets (albeit in a slashed-sleeve style). Tunics are also frequent garments, while surcoats are somewhat less common for men. Women's styles consist of skirts and bodices worn over a shift. Semendric shifts generally have close-fitting sleeves, and outerwear sleeves are usually tied on if wanted. In Mender Downs, working-class girls will sometimes wear tunics and wool chausses. A dress is considered a sign of wealth and indulgence.

Shoes are typically leather boots, tall or ankle-length, or laced leather slippers for urban women. Wealthy women will be seen wearing silk or velvet slippers, and sandals appear south of Chremis, a holdover from Korinthosi influence. All along the Vattern Bourne, rattan and leather wide-brimmed hats are a common sight. The most popular "expensive" hat is the cavalier hat.
 
Broech
Based on real-world Medieval and Renaissance Celtic and English styles.

Fabrics readily available in Broerec are linen, Caoroy wool and lambskin, Gaffadel goathair and kidskin (in somewhat lesser quantities), silk, velvet, brocade, lace, and taffeta.

Traditional men's styles of robes and surcoats are on the way out in many of the urban settings, being replaced by fashionable breeches and hose, close-fitted jerkins, doublets for the upper and upper-middle class. Tabards and tunics are prolific amongst the lower-middle and lower classes, and hose are left out of the ensemble. However, surcoats and robes are still firmly entrenched with the older generation, the pious, and women. Women commonly wear bodices and skirts over shifts, but wealthier women might choose a dress instead, particularly with trumpet sleeves long. Broech shifts usually feature peasant sleeves. Gloves are an indispensible part of the outfit, but in the highlands they are replaced with fingerless gloves.

Headwear is varied (see Cobblers & Milliners). The lower class wear biggin caps (for men) and bonnets (for women). Upper class go in for muffin caps, flat caps, and bycocket hats, although the women usually net their hair or, if pious, completely cover it with a headscarf. As far as footwear goes, typically boots are favored for men and slippers for women. Wealthy women exclusively prefer heeled slippers.
 
Ulaish
Based on real-world Medieval and Renaissance Celtic and English styles.

Fabrics in Ulaidh are a little more limited in variety. Gaffadel goathair, linen, and kidskin are the most common. Silk, velvet, and lace are also produced locally, although the majority of it is exported.

Traditional fashions maintain their hold on Ulaidh, where men and women both continue to wear open, flowing robes or cloaks as their outermost layer. Surcoats are worn by men and women alike as well, and tunics are found being worn over goathair chausses (possibly under skirts or loose breeches) by men, boys, and working-class girls in highland regions. Bodices and skirts worn over a shift are slowly but steadily gaining popularity in the Ardell. Dresses are more frequently worn by all classes of women, not simply by upper-class women, as the temperature is more decidedly chilly throughout the year. Gloves or fingerless gloves are an essential element of the ensemble, and most women wear shawls.

The ubiquitous head covering is a spacious hood. Taffeta hoods are becoming popular with particularly wealthy women. However, headscarves are still frequently subsituted. Footwear is invariably a leather boot, ankle-length or knee-length.
 
Abydosian
Based on real-world ancient Mongolian, Arabian, and Chinese styles.

Goathair is prolific through the Karin Vale, as well as the settlements throughout the mountains. Within the Great Abydosian Dell, leather is prefered, and along the estuary, imported linen or natively-grown hemp. On the peninsulas, Ferraran cotton is not unusual. Kidskin is a ready luxury, but where the realm's wealth and self-indulgence is truly expressed is in their importation of silk, velvet, and brocade.
Simple tunic robes are popular for men, especially in shorter lengths, reaching only the hip or mid-thigh. Longer tunic robes are favored by women. Batwing tunics and draped pants are also common in casual wear or among the lower classes. Kaftans and trousers (for men) and wrap dresses (for women) are choice items for formal wear, or for members of the military, along with fitted-calf trousers. Long robes, sleeveless or sleeved, are popular outerwear for both sexes. Sashes are used for adornment.
The predominant footwear in Abydos (see Cobblers & Milliners) is the moccassin, or moccasin boot. In more urban settings, where streets are paved and maintained, brocade slippers are favored. The most popular headwear is a scarf and/or a hood.
 
Yulese
Based on real-world Mongolian and Scandinavian styles.

With a healthy trapping industry, leather and fur are favorite materials in Mangyul. For fine fabrics, they prefer velvet. Goathair and wool are also major components of their clothing, while the layer closest to their skin is usually made of hemp.

There is little distinction between men and women's clothing. Tunics, either solid or wrapped, are common fare for both men and women of Mangyul. Underneath, the Yulese wear trousers (in either a draped, loose, or fitted-calf style), chausses, or hose, or a skirt or a dress, if female, in addition to leggings or chausses. Kaftans are acceptable as formal wear for both men and women. Women have, however, in many cases adopted southern chemises and skirts.

Footwear (see Cobblers & Milliners) is often a Mangyulese-style short leather boot or a tall leather boot. Headwear is most often a rustic fur-lined hood. Wool lettice caps are another acceptable hat style for both men and women, although considered the distinctly more fashionable, urban choice.
 
Ferraran
The most easily accessible Ferraran fabric is cotton, followed by leather, at least in the savannah. Alpaca wool is also available in the Baleares Mountains, but as the climate is so hot, it's not as frequently utilized. Lace is a favorite luxury fabric and imported.

Ferrara borrows heavily from Semendric, Abydosian, and even Korinthosi fashions in their own clothing trends. Among women, bodices and skirts worn over shifts are popular, as are headscarves; among both sexes, sashes, mantles, and sleeveless robes; among men, draped breeches and jerkins worn open. Light, muted colors are preferred in the cities, while vivid colors are popular in the jungle. Port cities contain both. Men continue to wear traditional Ferraran sarongs and scarves, and women continue to wear bandeaus, loinskirts, wrap skirts (which did not originate with the Korinthosi), and wraps.

Footwear options for both sexes are moccassins, as like Abydos, or sandals, as like Korinthos. Apart from headscarves and wide-brimmed rattan hats (solely in the savannah), Ferrarans do not like head coverings.
