OPEN FOR BUSINESS

Crowley's Custom Tailoring

Great deals and great craftmanship for men and women.

Just because there's no real economy and we all smell like patchouli doesn't mean that you have to look like you smell like patchouli.

Come find me in the marketplace or send me a message here with custom orders and inquiries.

[ Attached is a flattering picture of him and an address. ]

Maybe you should have considered a perfume business if you're gonna focus on the patchouli.

[goesdown]

If I thought I could get my hands on anything that didn't smell like hippies, I would gladly share it with the world at large.

[hacker]

You're really not used to passing up on the finer things are you?

[goesdown]

There have been times when I've had very little, but I don't tend to voluntarily give up my creature comforts, no.

[chuvihani]

What have you got for materials?

[goesdown]

I'm working on expanding my selection. Currently, it's mostly woven natural fabrics and a few synthetics. Not much in the way of stretch, but I'm always bartering for more.

[chuvihani]

All right. If I bring you a sketch of something I'd like to try to make, will that work?

[ She'd planned on trying to sew it herself but frankly, someone else's expertise wouldn't go amiss here. ]

[goesdown]

I would be happy to. If I don't have what you need on hand, I may be able to get it. Come by and show me what you have and I'll see what I can do.

[echopraxia]

Do you need any assistance in this?

( anya is interested in his craftsmanship, yes, but she's also at a loose end and relearning a skill she had in her matrix is probably slightly less difficult than learning entirely new ones with things she'd never encountered. it's worth an inquiry. )

[goesdown]

I'm hoping I can expand the operation enough to, but at present I would have to wait and see how much business I can pull in before I can promise anyone else work.

[echopraxia]

If you are successful, I would be interested.

I'll barter for another orange coveralls.

[goesdown]

That should be easy enough. I'll need your measurements or you can come by and have me take them. Orange fabric might take me a little while to obtain, but I should be able to get it.

[sfoils]

I'll come by and have you take them. [ Because Wedge's gotten slightly more muscular thanks to training, and his current pair is starting to feel somewhat tight. ] That's fine, I can wait.

I have some fabric bolts that could stand to be transformed
what are you looking to trade in for your handiwork, Mr Crowley?

text.

[goesdown]

I like good drinks. Other than that, I'll entertain any reasonable offers for useful goods.

[cestrumnocturnum]

wine from Kosala? there is an unopened red

[dissent]

I don't really need new clothes, but I'd pay for any leftover fabric scraps you have.

[goesdown]

Dare I ask what they're for?

[dissent]

Bandages, pressure dressings, tourniquets. I run a clinic.

[unwrit]

So where does the fabric come from?

text;

[goesdown]

I've traded my own goods and services for what I have and I'm always looking for more.

[unwrit]

Trading clothes for the fabric you used to make the clothes. I think that's one step below selling ice to Eskimos.

[roboticist]

Thank god there are some people here who value appearance. What do you usually look for in payment?

[goesdown]

Make me an offer. Goods, services, anything useful. I'm especially partial to alcohol that's actually pleasant to drink, but I don't expect miracles.
