Thread: Finally somebody actually wanted me to make something other than black!
I don't mind making black, I get a lot of credits for making black. But today somebody walked into my shop and wanted an all pink outfit! He was a male too, lol. I was happy to make him a pink gunman's duster, pink uniform boots, pink paramilitary pants and a pink grenadiers belt. Anyways, just thought I'd let you guys know.
ya i thought about having an all black type guy but then i noticed so many people did it so i added in a dark green to my outfit
and im the only one that i can tell that wears an black and green outfit
I blame this one on cause and effect. The only thing I see people wearing is black. So as a novice tailor the only clothes I make are going to be black. Has anyone actually tried selling clothes of other colors?
As a novice tailor with still no boxes, i always wear white and make my friends wear white 
it looks very nice, and you can see the details of the clothes.
Btw, what do you think is the best item for getting tailor xp? currently i am always crafting ribbed shirts because they dont need any components like fasteners or synth cloth.
I'd stick with the ribbed shirts for xp - I was making some Gunman Dusters and Infiltrator Suits last night and the xp you get for the higher items seems very low.
My best-selling clothing item (after the Military Travel Pack, on Rori/Kettemoor) is the men's trenchcoat, the Smock. About half of the ones I sell are black, yeah, and not for lack of trying on my part. Personally, I wear one in olive with a black belt, with black boots and black gloves, and and pretty darned happy with it. But of the other half of the ones that actually sell, it goes pretty much khaki, then white, then gray. (I strongly suspect that it's medics buying the white ones, and I've started labeling the gray ones as "Imperial gray.") Once in a rare while a brown, green, or pale blue one will sell, but only very rarely.
Given that Rori is almost all one big swamp, I'm surprised as all heck that green/olive combos don't sell more. It's very flattering, and looks good, and has that right "local" feel to it.
That being said, I almost never move stuff that's black on black. Sure, some of it moves, but the stuff that moves the best are items with contrasting trim: black smocks with blue or green or white belts, black thin striped pants with white or yellow stripes, black loose dresses with pastel blouses, black sleeveless gowns with contrasting cuffs, black rugged jackets with brightly colored trim, black striped pants/shirts set with matching colored ribbing, misc wookiewear in black over green, that kind of thing. So even my least imaginative customers aren't total blackholes.
