Tailor Archive

On the new Shadowfire server, I was lucky enough to steal the name Clark Kent. Since I have such an awesome name, I yearn for awesome clothes

Now what I need is this...

A superman costume (if you don't know what it looks like...crawl out of that hole and do a google search)

A "professional" Clark Kent outfit -- make me look cool! (I am an armorsmith, so a good-looking professional outfit that Clark Kent may wear would just be too cool)

What I'm looking for here is accuracy...any input would be greatly appreciated. Frankly, I dunno if I can pull this off...

In case you are wondering, my Tailor friend (Keenan) is only Novice as of now..but he is working his way up.

There it is, oh might Tailors...please help!

It's going to be difficult to get the "S" on a shirt. I've made a few "almost" batman costumes. It's corny, but kind of fun.

As for a suit, you should be able to find a tailor in formal wear that can do nice things.

Yeah..I wasnt really expecting an "S"...I know Sony doesnt like us to be too original *roll eyes*

That would be cool if you could customize stuff like that...

Anyway..anymore suggestions?

Please be aware that the name "Clark Kent" is in violation of SWG naming guidelines and will probably get changed by a CSR at some point.

But if you're determined... try the flex-form shirt in blue and red, maybe with desert crawlers for the legs/trunks (I don't know if the loincloth will dye a good shade of red),uniform boots (again, hard to get that primary red), gold belt and a cloak. It's short-sleeved, but I think it's afair approximation of Supe's distinctive look.

Well, a man burst running around in blue tights, red underwear and cape doesn't quite have that star wars ring to it. Still, I remember a X-Men/Star Trek crossover comic, so anything's possible. lol.

I thought I was the only one that bought that awful thing

For the professional suit, probably something like the "tuxedo" on my site (link in sig), maybe colored a bit differently to look a bit less formal but still professional.

A few other superhero looks:

Robin (of "Batman and," natch): Lined Workshirt in Red/Yellow, Cold Weather Gloves - green, Hot Pants - green, and Women's Shoes - green (did this for a girl - not sure if there's a decent short shoe style for guys.)

Green Lantern: This one turned out pretty darn well, actually: Desert Crawlers in black and green (make the green part one shade lighter than the darkest), Formfitting Undershirt in Green (the darkest of the range here) and Black, and Uniform Boots in green (I believe the one-shade-lighter one.) I've always been tempted to put this on and roam around making slightly deranged speeches: "Friends! Many are hoping for the Jedi to return, but they're purveyors of false hope! What we really need to do is bring back the Guardians of the Universe and the Green Lantern Corps!"

Wonder Woman: Reddish Standard Boots, Hot Pants in Blue/White, and, depending on modesty and available skills, either Flex-Form Shirt in Yellow/Red (better to suggest WW's colors) or Light Bustier (for the bustier look, but minus the suggestion of the yellow "eagle.")

hehe...I didn't say I bought it. It a moment of rare teenage levity and wisdom, I decided to pass.

in actuality though...it likely wasn't wisdome or reason...it was conscious of my negative finances. Otherwise, there would have been 2 people who bought the rag.

SueDenim, would it be all right if I made those, took pictures and put them up on my site? Giving you credit for the concept, of course.

Sure, that'd be great!

Cool, thank you all. YukonSam...that sounds like that will work. My friend and I were debating if we could make a cape work, and his answer was cloak too. I imagined a "cloak" being more like a duster than a cape. Is there any websites where I can see pics of all the items YukonSam mentioned?

Again, thank you all so much..I cant wait to help innocent newbs against durnis in my hot new costume..muhaha

*Look! It's superman!*
