A new Tailor joins a community which has lacked one for years. In a world of distributed manufacturing tailors are no longer just artisans, but educators, material and sustainability experts, fashion designers and translators of cultures, making sure no garment offends others when traveling. Seeing that they’re much less traditional than their predecessor, will they be accepted by the community? Which bold statement surprised everybody?

    I would expect it to look a lot like fashion of the early 20th century for the working class. Clothes would naturally be baggier with greater ability to alter the clothing at certain locations to fit people wearing the clothes. The clothes would likely be made to be more durable on the understanding that undershirts and longer underwear would be worn underneath.

    Since clothes would be owned and worn longer, fashion wouldn’t shift as much. You would also see more second hand stores as it was common for the rich to sell or give clothes away to staff once it dropped out of fashion.
