Clothing
Clothing is various. Many places feature a blend of attire depending on situational or ambient necessity. Many articles typically range from the 1800s to the early 1900s in functionality.
Wool, linen, lace, denim, silk, leather, and other material is frequent during most seasons, although something that varies depending on climate and region.
Lighter wear can range from plain cloth to flowery or patterned attire. As with most clothing, there can be meaning or purpose to a specific design. Many sewing patterns historically were meant to designate individual families and at times communities, although this has evidently since diversified to broader precedents.
Heavy wear is various in style, and varieties are often localised amid colder climate ranges. Patterns and designs are at times meant to stand out from ice and snow and alike terrain. This can be advantageous in places with harsher winters. With historic awareness and need for preservation, there are traditionally established designs meant for conspicuity. The use of vibrant colours is notable in more northern climates.
Patterns embroidered into cloth or cut into metal can have aesthetic purposes as well as practicability.
Defences, and sometimes other factors correlate to specific symbols and iconography. The variety of writing and symbols used is encompassing, and many typically have individual or traditional significance to those who utilise patterns.
Despite this diversity, there is potency in a majority of cases. This is hypothesised to be perhaps due to inherent significance per passed down imagery. Many examples of iconography are difficult for others to recognise, which can have advantage.
Sweaters and guernsey are a norm in various regions with wool production, or places that exist along coastal lines within Ereba. These however can be considered more generalised articles due to cultural diffusion and perceived functionality.
Synthetic fabrics are rare as an element due to isolative cultural boundaries from 'elsewhere'. Distribution is infrequent in that regard.
