CLOK BBS

Had an idea that the base item we're making should be switchable to other synonyms... so instead of a hat for example you could lcraft hat base cap when you were done making a hat and end up with a cap!
I took the liberty of coming up with a list of things that may or may not be appropriate.

footwear:
shoes: loafers, clogs, flats, brogues
sandals: espadrilles
slippers: moccasins

armor:
boots: ankle boots, workboots, riding boots
gorget: collar, choker
breastplate: hunts, cuirass, corselet, mantle
greaves: cuisses
vambraces: bracers, spaulders, armguards
gauntlets: handguards, gloves
helm: helmet, mask, skullcap

container:
satchel: carryall, tote, kit, duffel bag
pouch: poke, purse, sack
backpack: (move pack here), knapsack, haversack, rucksack

clothing:
hat: cap, fedora (so sporty!), bonnet
pants: trousers, pantaloons
cloak: cape, (move longcloak and greatcloak here)
tunic: shirt
jacket: coat, overcoat
longcoat: overcoat
belt: sash, strap
gloves: mittens, mitts
*This definitely needs added: Loincloth, breechcloth, codpiece!

I like this, a few additions..


bowler hats, handwraps, harness, knee-boots

For Tanning, the Wiki should be made to reflect that proper wording is:

TAN {pelt} {type}
Note: For {type} you have a choice of creating soft leather, rigid leather, or fur (should be Natural).

I like the options here, variety is the spice of life after all, but I think some of them might be a bit odd for leather - mittens, shirts for example. There are leather versions of these to be sure, but I prefer cloth or weaves and it might be best to leave those for a possible weaving skill or clothing stores.

Never seen this thread before. I like the idea - too bad I didn't see it before the leatherworking additions last month.

It's never too late!!!

How could I forget:

As armor: Leggings (currently available as clothing), leg-wraps, hand-wraps, body-wraps (for the mummy look?), arm-wraps, facewraps (maybe as a helm/mask)... Seriously, the mummy look is in.
As belts: Sashes, waist sash, low-slung belt, utility belt (with pockets of course).
For legs above clothes or armor: Thigh belts / knee-belts - potentially stylish and great for hanging a belt pouch from.
From the neck: neckpouch
