Spending My Retirement In A Game

"Of course!" She replied, before Eisen walked over toward where some of his other machinery was, and where he also finally put up a cloth-weaver, and then picked out a few different scraps that he was playing around with for a little while to test the different Silk-Spinnerets out properly, so that the two of them could pick the best ones.

This wasn’t only about how useful the clothes were now, after all, but also about how fashionable they were! So it made sense to ask Evalia for that as well, considering she’s the one that came up with the far majority of designs that Eisen would be working on later.

And so, they picked out some different cloths that seemed good enough, and Eisen quickly started to work on making the different types of thread that were needed for this.

"Just call me when you need my help, I’ll be staying here in the dungeon for a little longer~!" Evalia said with a slight whistle, before Eisen just nodded his head in response and smiled at her.

For a fair while, all that Eisen was doing was make some thread, of course while also letting his doubles do a lot of this pretty simple work, and when he had the materials to get started on the first outfit, the old man swiftly got started.

The first one was an outfit that Eisen and Evalia both figured to be one that could be worn in-battle and out-of-battle, although it wasn’t necessarily a ’casual’ outfit. It was made up of a sleeve- and hood-less leather jacket, a broad leather belt, high leather boots covering even the wearer’s thighs, as well as hot-pants and a crop-top, as Evalia compared it to.

Eisen didn’t really know about those clothes, but he figured it looked nice enough, so he didn’t really complain about it either. For now, Eisen just got to work on the leather jacket. It had a few belt-like parts on it instead of buttons so that it could be closed, and it did really look pretty nice, albeit not something that Eisen himself would like to wear.

The jacket himself really wasn’t complex to make, just a few pieces of properly treated leather that were cut into shape and then stitched together. Of course, what made it ’special’ this time around was the leather that was used.

So that it could actually be readily available, Eisen figured he shouldn’t use something like leather made from the lesser-dragons that were hunted for Eisen, so he just saved those for another time.

The one that Eisen ended up going with was leather belonging to a bison-like flame monster. Due to that, it had some natural resistance to fire, and it would probably also end up helping out flame-magic based abilities. Eisen figured that it would fit because a lot of rogues relied either on air or fire magic, the former to be able to get around more quickly and quietly, and the latter to more instant damage. It just depended on whether you were more of a scout, or a proper front-fighter.

Either way, Eisen also wanted to make the same outfit, just with leather from a wind-fox instead of this fire monster.

And to make the differentiation a bit stronger, and to fit the ’flame’ theme a bit more, Eisen asked Evalia to dye the leather either deep red or soft green respectively.

The same leather was used for the boots and gloves as well, which Eisen quickly made togehter with the jacket-base while he was working on the special leather. The gloves were a rather simple job, especially because they were finger-less, and for the boots, Eisen only cut out the pieces for now and didn’t make the actual boots just yet.

For the other leather-pieces, Eisen used a less special leather, although it was still known to be pretty strain-resilient. These would be used for the belts that Eisen would be adding to the outfit, which was very swiftly taken care of. Belts were a beginner-tier item to make, after all, because there wasn’t really any stitching needed. You just needed to cut a large piece of leather into shape, punch some holes into it, add the buckle, and then you would be technically done. Of course the edges would be pretty rough in that case, but in the end, that was enough to make an actual belt.

And while it maybe looked a bit tougher, even a broad belt like Evalia suggested wasn’t an issue, because it was really just a comparatively thin belt with some larger pieces of leather sewed onto it in straight lines.

So as that was the case, Eisen could even use the regular belt-buckles that he alway made for this.

And then, after running the belts that would come onto the jacket through the specific straps needed for them, the old man quickly moved on to the cloth-based pieces, because they were quicker to make than the boots. He really didn’t make that many shoes in the game yet, and the few that he did end up making were quite bare in the end. So Eisen was actually pretty excited about the different possible enchantments that would be opening up to him with shoes.

And especially due to the construction-method of most shoes, Eisen was pretty sure there was more than enough space to fit in some nice enchantments that wouldn’t even be noticable to the naked eye.

Either way, first, Eisen had to work on the ’Model’ of a food that he would be working around to shape the leather properly. That didn’t take all that long either, and Eisen just quickly carved the foot out of some wood, trying to go for a size that someone with a build that fit the outfit Eisen made would most likely have, and then swiftly just sanded it a little to make it actually smooth.

And then, Eisen grabbed the different types of leather that he wanted to use for this, some smooth, others suede, and each in different thicknesses depending on the need. Of course, Eisen already cut everything for this out, although the only thing that he used the flame-resistant leather that was dyed red for was the parts of the shoe that would be seen on the outside, because those parts didn’t necessarily need to be as wear-resistant as the pieces that the foot would actually end up touching.

And so, Eisen quickly got to work putting the different pieces for the boot’s foot-part together, because it would be annoying to work with the pieces that were supposed to cover the leg attached already, and then glued the inlining leather into it already, in the places that needed it.

Of course, there were also different, thicker parts that were already placed into that leather piece, for example thicker parts for the heel or the toes. All those pieces came onto the suede inlaying leather, and the outer, smooth leather layer was placed around that inlaying layer. The outer layer was just a little bit longer than the inlaying layer toward the bottom of the shoe, but even though it seemed unnecessary, it was an important part of the general construction of the boot.

Eisen then quickly grabbed the insole, the part that as well as a few thin nails and swiftly hammered them trough the insole into the wooden foot. They were very thin nails, and Eisen only did so in two different parts of it so that there wouldn’t be numerous holes in it. Either way, once he did that, the old man quickly pulled the leather piece that he already prepared for this over the model of the foot, and then swiftly started to use more of the same nails that he used before to hammer the edges of the leather into the insole while tightening everything on the top of the foot properly, really pushing it around the different parts of the wooden foot.

And then, after properly having pulled the leather around it, Eisen started to remove some of the nails from the leather, but just a few of them toward the tip of the boot, and peeled the outer layer of leather back so that he could properly glue the inner layer onto the insole, while using a file to smooth everything out.

And so, bit after bit, the whole inlayer was glued onto the insole, and the outer layer was glued onto the inner layer, with the exception of that bit of the outer layer that was longer than the inner layer.

Now, Eisen could remove the nails that he put into the insole before, and then swiftly started to smooth the bottom of the shoe out perfectly so that it was hard to see where the insole stopped and the inner layer of the leather started.

Then, some cork was glued to the bottom of the shoe, which Eisen then once more just smoothed out, before adding a thin metal plate into the center of the underside, which would both help support the foot, as well as the boot’s structure itself.

Afterward, Eisen added the next piece of leather, the midsole, which as the name implied was the piece placed inbetween the insole, which would touch the foot, and the outsole, which would touch the ground. The midsole and outsole were a slight bit larger than the insole, however, and they were the reason that Eisen made the outer layer of leather a bit longer than usual, so that he could properly glue that outer layer of leather onto the pieces of the midsole that stood out.

And then, after adding the welt around that ’curve’ that happened to do doing that like a ring by double-stitching it onto the boot, Eisen only needed to add the actual outsole and the heel now.

The reason why he used this method of making that part of the boot was because it was simply tougher and more water-resistant than it would be if Eisen made it using the regular method.

It simply made sense to do it like this, considering that the boot was supposed to be part of an ’Adventuring’ outfit.

After adding the outsole and stacking pieces of leather on top of each other and then smoothing everything out some more, the old man nodded his head in satisfaction.

He didn’t add any enchantments inside of this one yet, but at the very least he wanted enchant the underside properly to make the grip of the boot on the surface underneath better, both through the enchantment’s effect itself, and through the riffling that the enchantment was creating.

Then, after removing the wooden foot and adding the parts of leather that were supposed to cover up the leg, and then repeating the same process again for the second boot, Eisen was finally finished with his first outfit.
