Overcoat

Overcoat is the most important garment for a person, it is the one staple of your status that everyone sees. It varies slightly between the male and female version, as both of them need to have adjusted sleeves and hem for the type of activities that they regularly do in their every day life, but the overall structure remains the same. It is a convenient giant piece of fabric that protects you from the outside world while also saying to the outside world everything they need to know about you.   There are many sumptuary laws that one must abide by, so the colour of your overcoat and the fabric you can use for it are both subjects to strict rules and regulations. Each class of citizens, each noble rank, each profession has certain colours and fabrics assigned to them - the most rare and precious and decorated are only reserved for the imperial court of course. Punishment for not abiding by these rules are severe and can result in the execution of not just the offender but also his family as wearing different types of clothes than you are entitled to can mean only one of two things: you are trying to rise above your station and therefore you disagree with the divine order of the society and must be put back into your place (and that place usually means the grave) or you are trying to be deceitful and get into places you have no business of being and therefore you also need to be put back into your place (usually after the torturers get all of the information about your nefarious plans out of you).   Therefore, be mindful, layer up, and make sure that the final coat that you are wearing is the correct one for your station in society and your family to wear or else you will have more problems to deal with than just fashion.
