King Christmas Wawa's March Mastery Suit
On March 21st of 2025, exactly one year after the king's second regiment was officially introduced, King Christmas Wawa stepped into Newbeak City to reveal his newest suit. Spring was in the air, and The Arrival of March had begun that night as King Christmas Wawa stepped out of his armored car in his March Mastery Suit. Around 200 spectators gazed at their king while he came up to his pedestal to speak to them. He stated, "I thank you all for coming. For supporting us and helping us to achieve our goals. The time is March, and a year before, we were standing here with half the glory and might. Let us imagine double the success of the campaign in the coming year. With you all in our team, and with your effort, we can push our efforts forwards to achieve a more just society for water bottles and all others in our power." With this, the king gestured to his colonel to take off his cape. The king made a head nod towards one of the cameras positioned to film the event and then departed, showing the crowd the back of his new suit.
The March Mastery Suit was a concept that evolved from a conference the king had with his leading officials and professional designer team. He presented a brief sketch of the suit to them, to which suggestions were made to improvise on a final product that could be presented in Newbeak for The Arrival of March. The king's capital city was counting on him to reward their investment of dedication and pride towards his campaign. In the end, he was sure that this design would not let them down.
The final illustration of the suit, not yet given a proper name, was that of a typical arrival suit; with a Napoleon collar, four buttons, gold chain trim, and the back and sides covered with gemstones. The key difference was the utilization of chains. Unlike the November Fringe Suit, which had stainless steel chains hanging loosely and covering the lower half of the suit like a curtain, the March Mastery incorporated a more militaristic use of gold-plated chains of various types. These were all continued into the final product.
With its back and sides covered with the usual glitz of charms and rhinestones glittered with crystals of mainly green and gold colors, the March Mastery Jacket also included the usual charm and rhinestone covered, high collar with gold chain trim. The shell fabric of the suit is the typical felt, made in a dark green color. Much like its predecessors, the suit is insulated with white satin spandex fabric. One key difference is that the front of the suit has four rows of horizontally hung, loose pairs of gold-plated chains on the right side of the suit. Each pair is attached to a matching button in the center of the suit. Each of the far-right sides of these chain pairs is held up with a button, giving the suit a militaristic parade uniform feel. To add to the 'march hype' feel of the suit jacket, the four buttons in the front-center are uneven. The top button is located near the top-right corner of the suit, while the bottom button ends the row in the bottom-left corner. Additionally, the front of the jacket has a pocket topped with the king's crown rank insignia. The shoulders of the suit each have a red felt pad, which frames the king's crown rank insignia on each.
One of the most unique characteristics of the garment in its entirety is the crown. The March Mastery Suit is the first of King Christmas Wawa's suits, since his first-ever parade suit, to be assigned with its own crown. On top of all three major pieces of the suit, the king suggested a new crown must be made to fit the suit's theme. When it was given its official name, King Christmas, Wawa pointed out that it could not have the title 'master' - as in 'mastery' - without having every essential asset of its own, including the crown. The crown was made with the same green felt as the majority of the suit, with an ivory felt used as trim for the lower portion. Gold and silver-plated Cuban chains were also incorporated into the crown for trim. The crown was topped with five imitation pearls and had zirconium crystals in rhinestone and earring pin styles incorporated into the side. The army also left the crown without insolation to allow the gemstones to be replaced with genuine semi-precious and precious gemstones in the future. This is a key standard with all of the king's crowns.
The cape of the March Mastery suit is made similarly to the rest of the capes made prior. The interior is made of felt, while the front is made of coarse, dark green fabric. The underside is made of a coarse, yellowish-gold fabric. Both sides of the cape are trimmed with gold-plated Cuban chains. The front of the cape is also glittered with various charms and rhinestones, many of which are covered in reflective white, gold, and green crystals. The cape is somewhat hefty, and is attached to the suit jacket via the same chain and button loop system incorporated in all of the previous arrival suits.
The boot is also a similar concept to many of the previous arrival suit themes. It is lined with the same spandex fabric that lines the jacket while being mainly felt. The outside is lined with coarse green fabric. The bottom of the boot is made of leather and padded down with felt. It is also lined with the same 18k gold chain style used for the boot of the February Majesty Suit. It is separated via buttons into four quadrants of loose-hanging chains. These chains are attached to buttons, which form four lines along the side of the boot. There are various gold-plated chain designs incorporated, including different shapes and sizes.
The March Mastery Suit took around $250 in imported materials to produce, and it is estimated to have a combined total value of around $600-700. Of course, much like every other suit worn by the king, the March Mastery Suit is priceless. It is currently held in the Newbeak Museum, where it will remain until further use by King Christmas Wawa. The crown, jacket, and boot are displayed along with some of the necklace chains and jewelry worn by the king during the arrival. The cape is displayed separately to accurately display the artwork on the back of the suit. It will forever contain within it the history and legacy of King Christmas Wawa, the leader of the world's most elite water bottle fighting force.
