The back of the pants has different dye channel than the front and the jacket, which just looks very weird. Was this intentional?

    The actual costume looks nice - very plain, cottagecore look.

    The dye channel, however….

    Honestly, they should release the costumes as separate armor sets too. So many cool individual parts would, locked together. I would pay to be able to mix and match. I love the backpack chest pieces and wish I could use them outside costume restrictions.

    Never heard of cottagecore before. Is this a new musical subgenre?

    It’s a fashion thing. Think peasant dresses, quilted fabrics and that sorta thing https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cottagecore

    It could be worse, it doesn't seem to have any diapers on it. Or maybe they panicked when they realized they didn't have any butt- and hip flaps on it.

    For a gambeson and hose, that style of coloring was actually fairly common irl.

    Is the leather undyeable? Because undyeable bits are the worst.

    Also why is there a random shoulderpad on this thing. Makes it feel more like a discared motif/style than a costume (which seems to be common lately with costumes)

    I was slightly looking forward to this costume because it was simple and one of the few gambeson looking things we have, which is weird.

    Leather is dyeable. The costume's pretty sweet overall (imho), it looks pretty seamless, not like recycled motif at all (unlike a certain quaterly reward we got). But as I said for some reason the back of the pants is in the same category as undershirt, sleeve strings and bootstraps. Boots and shoulderpad with it's straps have a separate dye channel.

    yeah I wish the shirt was its own dye channel and the pants its own as well. I ended up dying the first and third channels the same color to get around the awkwardness with the pants.

    Yeah, totally. It's more of a bug report than bashing the devs on my part. I dyed those two channels the same color and the costume's pretty sweet. As I said, it doesn't look like repurposed motif, unlike the quaterly reward costume. Yet still, this dye channel in pants is weird, and I doubt it was made by conscious choice.

    You know when you want to buy a pair of green pants but blue would be more practical? This two-sided colour panel pants is the perfect solution!

    It’s too bad we can’t change the houseguests’ costumes. This one could put a few at the witches cottage and they can sip hot cocoa and enjoy the rustic side of life.

    I was noticing this last night and definitely raising a brow at it, its such an odd aesthetic choice.

    I really wish the color of the front of the pants was linked to the color of the back of the pants instead of being linked to the shirt. That way, there could be a contrast between the two without looking...odd. Way too many outfits have the shirt and the pants linked together, making it so you can't create a nice contrast. But this half and half decision is by far the strangest.

    I really do like the costume though. I'd love if it had been an actual motif as well, I enjoy the look of it but wish I could pair the top with a few different things.

    When everything's lost, they pick up their hearts and avenge defeat

    Oh, pick yourself up, 'cause

    Not sure I'd call it odd... more unique for all those people that have been waiting so long to have the front of they're pants a different color than the back! The glass is half full crowd! :)

    Also why is there a random shoulderpad on this thing.

    That’s the shoulder upon which we peasants carry our burden of shame and failure. And our butter churns.

    or in our case, the Vestige rests the burden of their stupidity and obliviousness. It needs extra padding for it's a large thing.

    Ever seen contemporary horse riding pants? The areas that experience more wear are made with different materials; hence, a different appearance.

    Yeah, I love how clueless our MC can sometimes be.

    - "Who are you again, person who I already saved hundreds of times across several provinces?"
    - "What is a Daedra?" - asks the person who killed countless daedric minions, and spoke to or even defeated quite a few Daedric Princes.

    The list goes on.
