Hrm, I am working on a set of robes for either a public or private cartel, depending on my mood at the time. To my knowledge it's influenced by a great deal, but nothing in particular. I would like advice on sharpening the image and such, as my descriptions tend to be repetive or vague.
The design is, essentially, a body suit that resembles a full set of robes. The arms and legs flowy with the chest comfortable similar to a loose vest. The legs are split for all the monks out there who use it.
Made from black silk, these robes have been designed in an odd manner. Instead of being wrapped around the body, these robes have been designed for the body to slip into it. They appear to be a full body suit, pants and shirt, with the back of the shirt opening so one can easily slide in and tie the upper portion shut. The shirt portion is long sleeved and roughly loose, allowing for a wrinkless, yet loose fit for most wearers. However, the sleeves of this robe are akin to robes, with extra cloth so one can easily cover one's hands in the other sleeve and have some cloth left over. The neck portion has another two sets of cloth, one strip of cloth is attached around the base of the neck to slide up and around the wearer's nose and mouth, where the other portion is based more to the back of the neck, allowing a hood to be drawn over one's head. The pants portion is designed to resemble the lower portion of a set of flowing robes that have been tied into two legs. The material stops four inches from the floor on most wearers, and has enough material for a flowing effect in the legs themselves. All in all, this set of robes is designed for comfort and ease of motion, with the speration of the legs allowing a full range of motion.
As a sidenote, I'm thinking it'd be more Ninjakari, throw in some tabi and some black gloves, and I think I have a winner.
Advice, opinions?
