Tailor
Town shop, built on a house plot
The Tailor is a town shop for flax and cloth. It goes on a house plot and is one of the cheapest shops: 4 Building Kit I, 3 Wooden Kit I and 1 Iron Kit I.
It sells Flax Seed, Flax and Lace, then Flax Thread from tier II and Fabric from tier III. It is also where you buy bags: the Universal bag for 10 silver, and from tier II the Big universal bag for 50 silver.
Its happiness list is short. At tier I it takes only Flax, 80 a week at 0.1 each, which alone fills the whole weekly cap of 8. At tier II it switches to Flax Thread (160 a week, again the whole cap), and at tier III Thread and Fabric together make up the 25.

Happiness per item × how many items count each week. The weekly counts and the cap reset on Pride day and when the shop is upgraded (see Happiness and Town Quality).

Where it can be built
On any free house plot, 7 in all. Plots are named here by the battle for that part of town.
| Area | Plots |
|---|---|
| Break Through to the Port | 3 |
| Eastern Districts Purge | 2 |
| Central Districts Purge: Part II | 2 |
Notes
- Each upgrade needs the product the next tier sells. Tier II asks for 40 Flax Thread, which the Tailor only sells from tier II; tier III asks for 60 Fabric, sold only from tier III. Spin the thread on a Spinning Wheel and weave the fabric on a Weaving Loom.
- The tier I order can be filled by hand. Supply: Fabric is packed at a Woodworking Workbench as well as in the Factory, and Supply: Clothes I for tier II at a Sewing Table.
- Flax stops counting for happiness at tier II. If you have a field of flax, sell it before upgrading.
