I specialized in Casual first so I suppose it would make sense that my regular clients tend towards the casual. Flex-form shirts with large pocket pants sell well.
I went up the casual line first and was very very glad I did that (even if it's not the most efficient "grind-wise"). There's some great stuff in there, and with only the casual line you can make nice "outfits" which you really can't in fieldwear.
One item that sells a rediculous amount is the muscle shirt. People like em both in two-tone or solid color. Last night I decided to make about 20 of them and put them in the vendor because I'm sick of making more every single day, lol. For some reason I've found on my sever people tend to choose muscle over flex form head to head most of the time. Probably the name, lol, but they're extremely similar.

I sell insane amounts of muscle shirts. The flex-form and large pocket pants make a nice outfit though
Black muscle shirts in particular are of course a sure seller ![]()
Wu, well you prob know, but Kwee is almost always wearing the light bustier/fashionably pleated skirt combo. For an Image Designer/Tailor I really should change my look more often ![]()
I found a big seller:
Brown desert command with indigo for secondary
Work Pants Brown or Pantaloons brown
Formal Shoes Black
Black Formfitting shirt
Black Leather Gloves
Red Headwrap
Yarg, your a pirate now!
I am a new fan of:
Black and grey decorative vest
Black Pantaloons
and Black Sandals
A simple outfit that's been getting lots of compliments lately for me:
Lined Workshirt - Black
Paramilitary Camos - "Urban Camo" (Black/Grey)
Uniform Boots - Black
Link-Steel Gloves - Black
Yes, yes, it has that "everything in black" aspect that all the kids these days seem to like, granted. But the components are just different enough from the norm that it looks a little unusual and fresh.
Paramilitary Camos of all sorts (and I've got over a dozen standard patterns, both "realistic" camo and "wild" looks) have been big sellers for me.
My "Jedi" outfit, which I haven't really particularly pushed or even identified as such, has been moving briskly:
Trim Lined Shirt - Tan
Modest Skirt - Tan
Cloak - Brown
One really neat wookie ensemble that someone had me make for them (can't really take credit for coming up with it) was:
sigiled waist wrap (black & gold)
sage's hood (black & gold)
also a gold colored smock and a black and gold colored shoulder padding (can't remember the exact type)
Not all of these are able to be worn at the same time of course, but the various combinations from these all looked really neat and that black and gold color combo is one I've never seen before for wookiees. Looks very very sharp.
Doctor's Dresses - I can't even keep up with the amount of tells I get asking for these. Number one purchaser? Teras Kasi Artists
Best Trendsetter - Ki'atha from CCOP on Bria. I was standing outside the Theed starport the other day chatting with a few friends. He landed and appeared. 5 minutes later I had 4 tells asking for "the exact outfit Ki'atha is wearing".
Wookiee Traveler's Helm
Crested Battle Padding
Sigiled Waist Wrap
Patterned Wookiee Gloves
All in Black and Olive. It's the olive that did it. You can ACTUALLY get all pieces to match and it does look wickedly sharp.
I actually have a guy setting his whole PA up -we came up withthe Peacekeeper clothing - from Farscape.
Striped slacks Black with a red stripe
Black Uniform Boots & Black Link Steel gloves
Red Muscle shirt witha black accent stripe
Black Reinforced Jacket with red lapels.
25- 30 sets ordered.
Infiltrator leggings are the second most used item Blue and red has sold more than black - (quite pleased about that)
That is wicked I am an avid Farscape fan and that peace keeper outfit idea is great. I am going to have to try it.
The clothes I sell the most are:
Anything color coodinated. It seems that everyone wants me to coodinate their outfit to match a couple of colors they pick out and there you have it instant happy customer.
