Tailor Archive

Ok, the "most usless clothing item" thread has stayed far enough from the original topic that this thread has become necessary. I have to admit that I am certainly not a "fashion trend-setter" like some other tailors are (I go for simple "evil scientist" looks mostly), and tend to be more re-active to trends (having the customer tell me what's new and popular) rather thantelling the customer. So I'll be carefully following what you all tell me in this area, lol. Anyhow, the current stuff that I've been suddenly selling a lot of that I haven't been before is:

dress slacks (usually black)

decorative vests (black and red, or blue and white seem to be favorites)

trim lined shirt (white)

fashionably pleated skirt (any bright color)

warm hats (just kidding :smileyvery-happy

interesting that these are all in formalwear and up until I had made master I had maybe gotten 1 or 2 requests for formalwear items in the entire 2 months I had been a tailor. I'd say formalwear is definitely "in" right now.

Doctor's Dresses in dark colors for TKA's! They really look great on guys (Trandoshans especially, I think because they cover up those huge toes), and it seems more and more people are discovering this.

Decorative vests (black and indigo, black and red, black and green), with comfortable slacks in black or two-toned formal skirts, which match wonderfully with the vests. Can't keep them in stock, get numerous requests for the outfit each day.

And ever since the groom at one of the larger Tatooine weddings wore a robe of honour, every man and his wort wants one.. *grins*

Ever since I sold the Robe of Honor with a Decorative Headdress at Halloween as "The Pope" costume, no one will buy them!

I'm getting more requests for more dressy clothing from guys.

My fav is a black pilots jacket, black casual pants, white side buttoned shirt, black dress shoes and a black plated necklace.

People think it looks like a tux.

I'm glad the the whole "black cloak" trend has died down. At least from what I've seen.

I've had alot of request for purple casual slacks, yellow suit shirt with purple trim, dress shoesand either a purple rugged jacket or a white cloak.

I was told by my Sith cron that mastering tailor was part of my path to power, but I am also a total clothes whore. I have noticed that certain professions go for certain clothes, such as TKA's going for robes and coolee hats.

I get a lot of requests for decorative vest with matching two tone formal skirts/tactical skinsuits, and doctor's dresses for TKAs, as well as sunguards.

For some reason the only trends I get are always coming from TKAs.

Current Wookie Trend (on Scylla):

Wookie Pull Over - Black

Wookie Arm Wraps - Black

Whieghted Wookie Hood - Black

Notice this is all low end stuff, decent sales for me

Yeah, I've noticed that 'pullover' trend for wookiees.. *laughs* A few months back, it was all the shoulder pad and crested battle padding, but not anymore. I swear, we get the oddest trends...

Actually, for TKA's I get the Decorative Vest and Modest skirt. I've sold so many SNEAKERS (yes I said SNEAKERS) lol as slippers for TKA's!! They love em if you don't call them SNEAKERS. haha

• Desert Command Jackets (black & _____)
• Decorative Vests (mostly blues and white)

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.
