since it's not custom sized one people can just continously make clothes without having to adjust anything. it might not be as cheap as what we have rn but it's def much cheaper than their usual ones
Of course a machine is also a way to reduce cost but since its the olden times they don't have machines and still handmade clothes. It's cheap because when you buy materials in bulk raw you can get less for that amount. Its like if you buy a roll fabrics it would cost lets say $6 but if you buy out 10 rolls it would only be for $45-50 and not $60. You can hustle for the price also since your doing it on bulk it saves time,labor and transportation fees.
same i mean that's the point of mass produced clothes, they are made easily by machines in a large quatity i.e less input more output. i think the point is that they're not making clothes tailored for the specifics body but in a range of sizes..? Still don't get how that is any less work because they are still being handcrafted by people lol.
The cheapness might also come from the fact that the clothes are a bit bare bones in terms of design and pattern when looking at what the common people in front of the store were wearing. No one is going to have fancy clothes for that price like the Lombardy’s. Also the fact that they currently have no competition means they are getting a boost in sales.

Also the was ignorant and got scammed to buy a ton of sack fabrick. Fl's fatehr saved the real by noting that the material the sack was made of was easy to produce and with a quick refining process and alteration with a bit higher grade threat would be = to our polyester cloths in price. And still be cheak yet semi soft and cumfterbe to wear. Hence the cheap price, as they struck a deal with the farmers for the materials that the farmers had exess of.
So atm the demand is large but will slow down and become stable later. Like with any new and better clothing product.
ah messed up the first like. it was ment to be.

Oh I want to respond to everyone but thanks for the insight!! I wasn't sure what other factors made it cheap but raw material is also really important, you're right.
Well we kind of had a price comparison, if the clothes that are tailor made go for at least 10 silver (this can be because of the variety of fabrics used and in small amounts as you only make 1 piece of clothing out of it, not hundreds par say), and as the manager said that the ready made clothes go for a maximum of 2 silver (that price includes material cost, labour and profits) even though you use humans and not machines, the time to make them is reduced and material loss is also reduced because they stick to a mold. Time and material saved = more money even though there is a human element to it. You can even look it up in our history, once stuff started to get mass produced prices would drop even though they were made by humans and not machines. Now how those humans got payed is another story but here we are in a fantasy where we have a very nice and wise family head who pays his employees according to their efforts.
Question. As much as readymade clothes (that is, clothes that are similar in handiwork and size mostly) are cheaper than custom made outfits, does it really make sense for them to be super cheap if they're still manufactured by people and not machines? I thought the real cheapness of readymade clothes came from them being factory produced in mass, so I might be a little lost here ;A;
