The Last Gentleman

Chapter 33: Ready-made clothing

Chapter 33 Ready-made clothing

These extremely outrageous and ungentlemanly words frightened Yi Chen and instinctively took him half a step back.

and,

  It is impossible to completely determine the gender of the other party just by looking at the other person’s voice and clothes.

 “Not quite suitable…”

 Yi Chen refused immediately.

“Tsk~ I thought you would be a very interesting person, but I didn’t expect you to be as boring as those gentlemen.

  There's no point in being too restricted. Originally, we wouldn't live long in this world... It would be too miserable if we were still bound by various constraints. It would be even worse than the lion in the circus, wouldn't it?

By the way, how did you meet Mr. Ivan? "

at this time,

There was the sound of the secret door opening on the second floor.

Yi Chen naturally ignored the weirdo in front of him and went upstairs as quickly as possible.

However,

The young man wearing a colorful mask also followed, almost keeping the same pace as Yi Chen...even the footsteps completely overlapped.

The shopkeeper Ivan walked out of the secret door slightly tiredly, leaning on his cane.

 The half of his face that was not covered by the mask was obviously much more haggard than yesterday.

 His eyes immediately fell on another person.

“Jin, are you also a candidate for this year’s assessment?”

 “Yes~Mr. Ivan.

Yesterday when I moved into the temporary dormitory, I had some minor conflicts with the guys in the same dormitory. I accidentally cut off someone's hand and hamstring and caused massive bleeding... The follow-up treatment was troublesome and I wasted a whole day. "

"oh…

You have to wait a moment. Mr. Behrens was introduced by a good friend of mine. His clothes have just been made and the final "finished product fitting" needs to be done.

 In case something is inappropriate, I still have to be busy. "

"It doesn't matter, I just want to see the [First Gentleman]'s skin. How special is it? How about changing outside?"

 “Jin, restrain yourself...”

The shopkeeper Iwan motioned for Yi Chen to follow him alone.

The young man known as [Jin] could only tilt his head and wave goodbye.

                                         

 The secret door is locked.

 This is also the first time that Yi Chen goes to the [Garment Making Room].

 The tungsten lamp installed overhead buzzes like a mosquito, providing luxurious lighting.

 The interior is not as high-end and open as expected, just a long and narrow room.

 Every available space is filled with appliances, equipment and all kinds of fabrics.

  1. A perfectly balanced sewing table made of an ancient wood. You can feel the excellent wood feel when you touch it with your fingers. It can stick to the skin for a long time without producing any sweat.

 Various forms of scissors and measuring rulers are hung horizontally in front of the sewing table through wall hooks for easy access.

  2. The wall cabinets are filled with various fabrics and some rarely used special tools.

  3. There is also a sink countertop similar to that used for developing photos at the other end of the room.

Various unknown reagent bottles are neatly placed,

A thin line runs across the upper end of the countertop, hanging with some specially soaked and processed [leather], which will be used as an important raw material for clothing production.

  4. Several slender humanoid statues are also placed here. Their heads are still covered with white cloth, and their arm structures are carved with extra detail. You can even see the details of pores and fingernails of different lengths.

  Seems to be here as [assistant] to Ivan’s shopkeeper.

"It seems a bit crowded here..." Yi Chen had to turn sideways to move slowly here, for fear of running into some important tailoring props.

“A small space can squeeze the brain, improve concentration of thinking, and reduce the probability of errors and mistakes.

 Follow me~ Your clothes are deeper, don’t let ‘it’ wait too long. "

There is actually a secret door hidden behind the closet in the dressing room.

  「Finished changing room」

 A square closed room of about ten square meters,

 There are candlesticks at the four corners.

On the wall opposite the entrance, there is a large oval mirror with gold trim.

 A sculpture whose body shape, height, and even the size of his fingers, navel, and back door are exactly the same as Yi Chen’s stands in the center.

 It’s just that,

This sculpture still does not depict facial features, but instead has a 'whirlpool' carved on the face. The depth of the whirlpool corresponds to Yi Chen's book emblem.

What this sculpture is wearing is the final garment made from “gentleman’s skin”.

 In total, it includes:

 1. "Shirt" adopts a white standard shirt with a rounded collar design, the cuffs are ivy-style adjustable cuffs, and are paired with a pair of black cuffs.

  2. As a necessary item of clothing with retro British elements, the "waistcoat" was originally designed to cover the shirt, but now it has become an indispensable part of a gentleman's dress.

Morata wool, dark gray between black and white, inverted triangle structure.

3. "Pants type" high-waisted single-pleated trousers with black and gray stripes, which serve as a support for the vest and perfectly connect the gap between the vest and the vest.

  4. "Coat" is also the most important part of clothing. It is divided into two options: "suit" or "coat".

 Both are black.

“Suits” are often used in daily activities, such as daily travel in Zion, studying, attending meetings, etc. Its material can effectively purify the spirit, improve thinking activity, and is more conducive to the establishment and display of a gentleman’s character.

 "Coat" is mainly used for field investigation and fighting against pathogens.

The material can effectively isolate the effects of disease, and can also fit an individual's fighting style. Generally speaking, it is where "Gentleman's Skin" uses the most materials.

certainly,

This is not completely fixed, there are also gentlemen who mainly wear suits, conduct external investigations, explore gray areas, and even go to the front line.

 As for leather shoes, socks, belts, ties or bow ties, or some external decorations, they are not included in the scope of [clothing], and you can choose according to the occasion you are attending.

Store owner Ivan simply explained:

“My design for your outfit focuses on “the intertwining of life and death” and “the emphasis on knowledge.”

 First of all, through the alternating use of black and white, combined with gray, the boundary between life and death is highlighted.

 Then the most important [knowledge] is also the growth path you choose.

  I put a lot of thought into the design of the suit based on my knowledge.

ˆ Adopting the classic ivy version, it has narrow natural shoulders, a straight shape without front darts, and a single row of three buttons with a large distance. I personally recommend only buttoning the middle button.

 Because the "Gentleman's Skin" you brought is sufficient, I will use half of it for suit making, which will help maximize your professional characteristics.

 As for the coat,

 Taking into account your origin, my design is a cemetery style.

˜The black goat hair known as ‘Lucifer’s Son’ is combined with gentleman’s leather to adopt a design style that combines ruggedness and stealth, while also slightly increasing the length and fabric thickness.

 Let’s try it on and see.

 Among them, suits and coats need to be tried on separately.

I believe that such a nearly perfect outfit will take root and grow on your skin like a rash, making you unable to stop. "

"good…"

Yichen couldn't help himself the moment he stepped into the dressing room and saw the ready-made clothes.

 During changing clothes,

 Feel the touch of the fabric as it travels between your skin, just like a girl's fingers gently brushing against it, and it fits perfectly.

  If the [ready-made clothes] temporarily purchased in the small town of Easton after leaving the cemetery were comfortable enough,

So now this set of fully customized ready-to-wear,

ˆ is far beyond the maximum value that can be described by the word "comfort".

 Every fabric polishing and every folding gap is perfect and impeccable.

 When putting on the outermost suit,

This costume immediately ‘resonates’ with the subject Yi Chen.

 Just like the silk threads woven between clothes, they are deeply connected with the blood vessels, nerves, and muscle fibers in the body to form a whole.

The brain is also activated when surrounded by clothing.

 Located on the back side of Yi Chen's brain, the book emblem composed of cerebral sulci, together with the heart and the entire set of clothing, are beating at exactly the same frequency.

"This is!"

  Rows of "ancient characters" in a swimming state appeared in the field of vision.

Yi Chen was certain that this was the first time he had seen such words, but he could understand its meaning.

The top, most visible, bold text gives important information:

  【Occupation: Student】

When writing this chapter, I looked up some literature related to suits, and it felt like I was going back to my painful reading career.
