King Christmas Wawa's November Fringe Suit
On the 29th of November King Christmas Wawa arrived in Newbeak awaited by a crowd of over 150 spectators. The king departed his armored car and gestured to the crowd, before heading to his officer deck to prepare for his departure. The king was wearing his September Flame Suit when he arrived in Newbeak. Confusion went around as to why the king would appear in the same uniform he wore two months ago, but the confusion was resolved for many, who knew that the event would be different than the past two. King Christmas Wawa's Army announced in an official article that the event for November would be a departure from the capital. It would be The Departure of November.
The departure idea made the most sense to the king and his advisors because the day of the event aligned with an easy opportunity for the king to travel on a campaign run. King Christmas Wawa had scheduled a campaign march in South Wisconsin, which just so happened to be easiest on the same day they had scheduled 'The Arrival of November'. The king then suggested that the event be re-titled to 'The Departure of November' so that he could prepare to leave Newbeak for his campaign. The November Fringe Suit was stored in the king's officer deck until he was suited for the departure event.
The suit is made from a base material of gray and light blue felt. The suit jacket is lined at the seams with many chains of stainless steel and sterling silver. The middle of the suit has a color change with gray on the top and light blue on the bottom. This separation is marked by a chain, and the light blue half of the suit is covered by small chains, which act as fringe chords. The jacket is buttoned using a snap-on method, which was originally supposed to be a zipper method but was changed due to time constraints and fitting customization. The upper half of the jacket is coated in many rhinestones and shank buttons. The suit is the first of King Christmas Wawa's uniforms to use a satin spandex fabric as a lining. The jacket has many loose chains hanging that transition to the boot.
The boot is lined with many different chains and metallic rhinestones up to where it meets with the jacket. It is lined with the same spandex fabric as the jacket. The boot is structurally made from felt but is lined on the outside with a thick layer of pale-blue fabric. The soul of the boot is made from leather.
The suit also has a cape, which is one of the king's heaviest and most compact capes so far. The cape weighs about one pound and is glittered with sparkly metallic and sterling silver-themed designs. These include rhinestones, shanks, buttons, and Cuban chains that line the suit. The front is lined with pale-blue fabric and the underside is lined with spandex fabric. The middle of the cape is composed of felt to give it structure.
The army uses felt as a critical component for making suits, even for officers other than the king. Even though it is less 'quality' and cheaper than most of the king's preferred materials, it simply functions better. The army often uses felt as a base for materials used for the king and then applies additional fabrics and materials on top of it. Felt is especially critical in the structure of the king's arrival suits, which are glittered with gems in every possible area. These suits are so heavy that they require custom bracing techniques to keep the wearer from falling over. Any material thinner than the specialized thickness of felt used for these suits would sag and droop, making King Christmas Wawa appear to be covered in a giant blanket of gems rather than a suit.
The November Fringe Suit is by far one of the most expensive suits for the king to import. It cost the army over $300 to import all of the materials used in the suit. This does not necessarily make it the most valuable suit. It was very labor-intensive, but it is believed that the December Luster Suit is by far the most valuable of the king's suits, being valued somewhere over $1,000. An additional thing to account for is that the November Fringe Suit materials were purchased before the army was given discounts on prices of things such as chains and other jewelry items from their supplier. Accounting for this, it is likely that more current suits are worth much more in materials. However, the November Fringe Suit is still a valuable historical asset that has proven its significance in King Christmas Wawa's Legacy. For this reason, it has been deemed priceless by many.
With every new suit manufactured for King Christmas Wawa a new display of talent, glory, pride, and respect is present. Each suit, along with the event connected to it, is an improvement from the previous. The November Fringe Suit will forever be a symbol of King Christmas Wawa's growing legacy, and a glimpse of his army's future.
