He motions to one of the laboring Gnomes, the youngest of the group you'd guess. "Looks like tea time is early today Bertti. Knock off and make us up a pot will you?" The lad rises with a nod and bustles off to the enclosed area. The whistling of a kettle can soon be heard. "So can I interst you in a new wardrobe Captain? I've some nice things in human sizes. The finest wares from around the Empire. Or would you rather talk cargos?"
 

The Gnome

"Good question, how about both but we can start with the uniforms" Michael will say "Do you think you can design and make a dress uniform and five everday uniforms for me an my ship;s officers along the same design"
 

"Certainly Captain, nothing could be easier. I'll need your measurements and those of your officers and we'll need to discuss fabric, style and colors. What did you have in mind?"
 

The Gnome

Michael will discuss with the gnome the style of the uniform, Michael is thinking a traditionaly enlgish style 1700's with a frock coat, waiste coat but with full britches instead of stockings and a set of dress boots with the trouser leg fitting over and concealing most of the boot. The coat and pants are to be in black with a scarlet/crimsion waistecoat with silver thread. and a snow white line shirt. The casual everday uniform to be somewhat of a black coat and trousers, miuse the waistecoat and a servicable line shirt with a red cravet.
 

Getting his tape and summoning one of his men, Glimmerdwang sets about getting measurements. "And materials? Linen shirts, but what else? Cotton? Wool? Silk? Leather? Kidskin? Suede? Canvas? Velvet? Fur? Damask? Something more exotic?" Tea arrives.
 

The Gnome

"That is a very good question, how about the work uniforms being done in leather as they will then serve as partial protection against wind, rain and wave with the formal dress being done in a wool/silk blend if that is possible, the rest i leave to your taste and styling" MIchael will then take a cup of tea.
 

The tea is pleasant with enough different subtle flavors to make it hard to pin down. It is has a little lemon and honey as well. "I don't think I could get a wool silk blend any time soon. Dwarves don't have much use for stuff like that, so I mainly keep silk around for undergarments. I could do a wool lining with a silk outer. That should give pretty good wear and weather tolerance while maintaining the high style."
 

The Gnome

"That sounds fine, I will trust your judgement in this matter" Michael says. Having completed the uniform order he will reach into his pocket and produce the cargo manifest and hand it to the gnome. "should you be interested, this is what i have to offer"
