Az Emberek Clothing

With a nation that stretches from warm coastlines to the frigid mountain passes, styles of dress vary wildly among the populace. That said, there are a few general rules of dress which are followed by all of Az Emberek. Hats and shoes (or sandals where appropriate) are worn by all members of the populace of every station.

Most men wear a knee-length tunic of linen or wool (season depending) over a shirt of white linen, pants and shoes or sandals. The tunic is held down with a belt of either leather or braided rope. The current style of hat most commonly seen worn by men these days is the short fez, though some still wear the pillbox which was all the rage some years ago.

Most women wear a longer tunic, reaching nearly their ankles, with a similar white undershirt and footwear as their male counterparts. The tunic can be held with a belt or with a set of large, ornate pins. Common hats worn include a Phrygian cap as well as the toque.

As for specifics, the Lavost favour leather pants and short, woolen tunics as well as padded coifs to keep their ears warm. The Visz have a fondness for tightly fitted tunics in bright colours, voluminous cloaks and fur-lined caps. The Tizenöt Város are known for their striped linen garments, cunningly woven rope belts and rope sandals whereas the Föld tend towards muted tones and sturdy ankle-high boots.

One final note on dress: As with most other things in the Republic, modes of dress and fashion are cyclical and repetitious, reverting back to the style of 50 years ago (which was that of a century, two centuries and four centuries previous). The buttons may be different or the fringe a tad more daring than before, but the fashions have not significantly changed in over 500 years.
