Elven Grace Materials and Pricing Guide:
When ordering outfits, there are three main things to consider:
1. Material - Outfits are all made from one of four base materials: Wool, Cotton, Linen (woven flax fibers) and Silk.
Wool is the warmest of the materials, and will help keep a person from getting frostbite in the colder months.
Cotton is breathable and soft, so less noticeable on the skin that it helps maintain focus.
Linen is durable and ideal for rooting around the wilderness or in dusty ruins.
Silk is very lightweight and regal, which is perfect for both travelling with extra clothing or for rubbing elbows in high society.
2. Functionality - Different weave patterns and stitching can be employed to all of the base materials to make them more suited to a task or purpose. A wide variety of possibilities exist, so there is certainly something for any occasion. The possibilities are endless, but specialized clothing can only be tailored to a single specific purpose.
Combat attire - clothing that is made with certain levels of tightness around specific muscles can help maintain one's posture, put a spring in one's step, or be flashy and distracting to the foe at hand are the most popular in this category.
Camouflaged and costumes - Streamlined clothing with padding in the shoes for maintaining silence, specially patterned and shadowed clothing for remaining hidden, and costume and disguise pieces, and pieces with hidden pockets for those who practice legerdemain.
Adventuring utility - clothing that is specially fitted with pockets for specific instruments required for one's trade is the widest set. Whether you need to carry lock picks, trap tools, medical instruments, bardic accoutrement, or even just extra snacks for animal training, there is an option for you here.
3. Exceptional threading - A wide variety of materials can be turned into threading and embroidered into the seams. Soft metals that are used for gilding such as gold and silver, naturally occurring fibers like asbestos, and the strange and bizarre threading of exotic beasts can be woven into thread that has unique effects. Outfits that lack specialized threading may be purchased from other tailors. The following list is what Elven Grace keeps in stock normally and considers "ideal". Other materials maybe be used if provided by the customer.
