King Christmas Wawa's October Shade Suit
It was October 18th, in the afternoon, and over 170 spectators were waiting patiently for action. The film crew started their cameras, and three armored cars crawled into Newbeak Park. The royal motorcade had brought the king into the city. Eventually, the door of the king's armored truck opened, and King Christmas Wawa showed the world his now-famous October Shade Suit. This suit revolutionized the rest of the king's newest suits to come. Not only did it prove that the army had the potential to manufacture an entire garment with a cape in one month, but it showed the level of detail and artwork that is still used in the king's newest suits at the time of this publication - half a year later. So far, the October Shade Suit has inspired the designs for the next six suits after it, each made for one month until August 2025.
The October Shade Suit is the official wardrobe symbol of King Christmas Wawa during the month of October. It serves as a state symbol of his army's glory and treasures won. The name of the October Shade Suit was given by the king himself, who named the suit after the harsh environment of winter to come. It consists of an orange color of cotton, textured in felt and fabric. The suit jacket embraces an Elvis Presley-style look, resembling the singer's well-known chain suit with snap-on bundles of chains closing the suit down to halfway in the front. The bottom half of the front is buttoned. It features a Napolean-style collar. This collar sparked a revolution in fashion when the leading designer decided to sew a Cuban style, gold-plated chain, commonly used by itself as jewelry, as trim for the outer edge. This design choice led to the designer choosing to use these chains as trim for the cape of the suit as well. To the current date of publication of this article, every one of the king's arrival suits after the October Shade Suit uses Cuban chain trim for at least its collar and cape. These designs have even been completed with silver-plated chains.
Using chains in replacement of fabric for trim made the suits look very high quality and unique, but it came at a cost. The October Shade Suit materials imported for its creation cost around $290. This is around double the price of the September Flame Suit. In total, the suit cost King Christmas Wawa $420 to import materials and manufacture. It is valued at anywhere from $420 to $700.
The cape of the suit is also trimmed with gold-plated Cuban chains; as well as decorated on the backside with many buttons, shanks, and rhinestones. These give it a golden luster that can be reflected in a shower of rainbow light 'drops' when illuminated properly. The back side of the cape is a bright orange color, while the underneath lining is dark black.
The boot of the suit - aka the pant - is lined with cotton fabric and has the same Cuban chain trim on the bottom as the rest of the suit. It is also lined with a 3x2 pattern of evenly spaced-buttons to add to the aesthetic of the suit as a whole. The bottom of the boot is padded with felt and the soul is black leather.
The first try-on test of the suit was a realization moment for the army. They noticed that the suits were just too heavy to serve as functional uniforms for the king. The suit weighed around one pound by itself with the cape, and no test bottle could stand straight with it on, not to mention walk around like the king would have to do for his upcoming event. The army needed to put a thick felt platform on the back portion of the boot to lean the wearer forward so as not to fall. The army also incorporated shoulder pads to make sure the king was comfortable with so much strain from the suit's weight. Even then, the king was described as visibly less mobile with the suit and cape on. This is why the king decided that, instead of wearing the cape to arrive in Newbeak and taking it off when he leaves, he would wear the cape for the first several seconds of the event before taking it off as soon as he could. This continues to be the reason King Christmas Wawa can be seen gesturing to his colonel to take off his cape 20 seconds after getting out of his truck for his newest events.
The primary purpose of the arrival suits after the October Shade Suit is to display a symbolic treasure owned by the state leader, King Christmas Wawa, to show the power and glory of his military. These suits are worn by the king after the events and are often worn until the next suit is made. Occasionally, King Christmas Wawa has been spotted wearing suits from previous arrivals for pleasure and aesthetics; but the capes of the suits are often stored away at the Newbeak Museum almost immediately after the first minute of being worn, and will most likely be worn very seldom, if at all by the king himself in the future. Each suit will likely end up displayed near its cape to seldom be worn as well, but these symbols must be kept as treasures of King Christmas Wawa's history to show the forever-lasting glory and might of his army and legacy.
