Let’s Shop!

Ok, so you have decided to take that wonderful plunge in life to purchase some Garb for the first time! While there can be a lot of reasons for this to occur, it is usually because you are going to you first event of some kind, where such things are encouraged. You don’t want to look out of place but there’s a lot to this entire hobby and you don’t know where to start! Let me lend a hand!

QUALITY VS. COST

When shopping for Garb, it is important to remember that quality DOES affect price and just because something from store A costs more than from store B, does not mean that store A is over-charging you. There are a lot of factors that will affect pricing. -Machine or hand made -Authenticity of the wear -Type of material -Quality of material -Quality, type, and thickness of thread -Quality of the stitching -Trim, detail work, real or fake pockets, and so on -Originality of the design -Selection in sizes and options Do you need to worry about these things? NO! Only as much as you want to. Just be aware of it, so that if you are considered someone may be over priced when you are shopping, that there are other things to take into account. Sellers do not always list all this type of information as it can be irrelevant to many buyers. Additionally just because something costs less does not make it a bad product.

I have set up at The Caverns Store, some basic kits, and packages. These will allow you to view (and even buy) some general outfits without putting a lot of time into shopping. More than that though they should also help generate ideas!
