Bab 218: Servant of the Axe, Bespoke

Chapter Type: Slice of Life

Fancy clothing is usually bespoke (not bespoken), which is snob-language for tailored to the individual.  It wasn't something you could make in your System inventory, or if you can, it's a more specialized System than mine was.

That meant it had to be done by hand, without System automation.  Measurements needed to be precise, patterns exactly matched on both sides of the seam, and the hands both sure and swift.

There were relevant classes, but the closest we had was Manservant.  The abilities in Manservant were mostly intended for maintenance and repair, not the sort of work we were taking on.

The relevant abilities that overlapped were Sew Like The Wind, which made critical sewing checks 10% faster, and Strong Seams, which prevented loss of quality on a critical sewing check.
