I just completed a 1 million+ credit clothing order.
I had the leader of a small rebel guild place a huge order from me. he ordered 1 crate of 7 different rebel uniforms from the films. when it was all said and done, it was 30 crates of clothing. I'm not sure if i undercharged or not, but basically i charged him 1k per accessory (gloves, boots, bandolier, ect) and 2k per regular item (jacket, pants, shirt). This is actually half the price i normally charge for single items.
but anyway, what's the largest clothing orders you guys have filled?

I've done million credit orders before, but it has been a really long time! I used to do guild uniform orders, but most guild seem to have someone who is willing to grind up to tailor (if they don't already have one) so they can make their own.

Even though my main toon, Oreet, is Imperial, and so is my guild, I'm still looking forward to seeing a group of rebels running around in Rebel Fleet Trooper uniforms. Too bad they can't get the helmets to go wtih them.
Rebel Fleet Trooper Uniform is the one with the blue shirt and black vest that the Rebel Ensigns wear on the Corellian Corvette in Episode 4 and in-game.
I even went out, and bought 2 more factories for the order. I have 1 wearables and 2 equiment factories up at all times (since i'm a weaponsmith as well). And our guild's armorsmith lets me use his factories if they aren't in use. so i have 6 factories all going at the same time making the stuff for this order.

Back when City Militia could still do City Warn and had a reason to be in a Guild/City Uniform and a reason to be recognizable as Milita -- yes, had a few million credit orders. Since City Warn was removed, that ended.
But just before JtL came out, I got a million credit order from a Shop owner that wanted a One-Stop JtL shop. He ordered several crates each of Flightsuits (all the bodysuits except the Fleshwrap), Uniform Boots, Leather Gloves, and Swoop Helmets. All in several colors. I gave him a deep discount for such a large order and just rounded it down to 1 million.

I've not had a guild order yet (well, I've had a couple of enquiries, but no order yet). Probably because until recently, I co-ran the guild I was in.
Managed to make 220K on one session the other day, mostly cos the client had more money than sense and wanted to "own a tailor".
(Or did she mean "pwn a tailor"?)

I tend not to specialise in custom orders, however i had one order which i already had on my vendors which came to a high amount..
He wanted 5 complete outfits of BE clothing all identical. All in black, and all with 4 sockets.
Thankfully i run these off in factories as regular stock anyway.
Order was:
5x 4 socket +4/+18 melee bandolier
5x 4 socket +4/+18 melee spec ops duster
5x 4 socket +18 bleed formfitting undershirts
5x 4 socket +18 intim/warcry camo's
5x 4 socket +25 inj/wnd sungard
5x 4 socket Belts
5x 4 socket Gloves
5x 4 socket Boots.
Total order worked out to be 1.5 million.

Thanks! I am glad to see you are still around even if you aren't on Lowca anymore. My shop is still there in the same place as always! I guess you could call me "established".

Hmm... Maybe it's time to push my guild to let me make them uniforms. I think it would be lots of fun. The problem is that our founders (including me) formed our guild out of the ashes of another one. The old guild had ranks, and set colors that you could wear at each rank. (The lowest rank was brown-only, yuck!) I'll have to figure out some way to convince them.

I very recently made 60 uniforms for an imperial guild. They also wanted many names rank sashes and necklaces. I had a great time and made good money. (the funny thing is I am a rebel colonel ... but I just want everyone to look good 
)

When I was first starting out, not even master, I got an order for guild uniforms, I think they were decorative vests and pants, I actually did them all by hand, since I didn't have a factory, and I needed the xp.
I also once had a customer give my 500k and tell me to make her whatever I wanted to. THAT took forever, since most of my clothes are pretty inexpensive....
