Clothing

Many of the items available on grid have been given names that make them more generic. So a cloak can cover several 'rl' items of clothing according to the whims of the crafter. Please don't be offended if we haven't used a cultural name for an object. We wanted to make the theme as easy to understand as possible.

However since there are bound to be some doubts about what an item actually is we have put together the following page!

Unisex Item Descriptions

Tunic		The tunic is an item of clothing that covers the torso and a variable amount of leg. A tunic can end at the hip or be as long as the upper calf. It is sleeveless and usually has slits up each side. The Su'ndari tunic is frequently elaborately ornamented. It is commonly worn over trousers.
Trousers		Su'ndari trousers are always baggy. The are usually held up with a draw string at the waist, although more elaborate variations on this are available. It is common for them to be gathered at the ankle or tucked into the top of a pair of boots so that the fabric remains loose over the upper legs.
Cloth Veils		The cloth veil is an essential piece of equipment to many who live within the native Su'ndari homelands. It consists of a length of cloth that is worn wrapped around the head and neck with enough excess fabric to enable it to cover the face. The way the veil is worn on a day to day basis is a matter of local tradition and personal style.
