Clothes without steel

Postby Meh » Tue Sep 30, 2003 12:25 am

Can't find the thread where someone metioned how hard it would be to make colthes since there is a steel requirement.

The clothes that require steel should be unique.

Here is what the rest of us could look like.
All over there should be a default style of clothes.
Some of the following could even be implemented as not steel clothes.

roman clothing

Sumerians clothing

greek clothing

And don't forget about buttons. If this is pre-industiral revloution button technology was unavailable. They had tie strings, sashes, and large barrel shaped buttons that rope loops went around.

I think animal hide can be skipped as clothes due to the target time period. Shoes and sheild for hide then?

I would like one of those Togas, looks easy to hide weapons in.


Would you look at that, the author has the same last name as me and spells it right too.

I think that there should be he option for less sohpisticated clothes without using steel machines to make the materials needed.

Unique clothes should be available to everyone to let people dress the way they want and add culture to places and groups
