A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 27: Trench Coat Specifications.
"By the way, what coat does Master Takeo ask for?
and Alice speaks of doubts.
"Ah... you didn't say.
and Takeo laughs bitterly.
"I will have a soldier's long coat, the Trench Coat, made.
"Trench coat? That word was there earlier, what is it?
"Simply put, that's a waterproof soldier's coat.
"It's not what you're using right now, is it?
"Yeah. Poncho is inexpensive, and it functions as rain gear,
The downside is that it is not suitable for work or intense movements.
and the clerk still brings the following prototype under temporary stitching there.
"... I see. Sort of resembles Takeo's 'suit' jacket.
"Yes, but I believe this coat combines practicality with exterior functional beauty.
First, the fabric is made of a durable cloth that has a tight weave from the time the fiber is created and is waterproof.
Even when the wind and rain is strong, I think I can put up my collar and do all the buttons and put on the buttons on my cuffs and hips belt to prevent the air inside from going out and also reduce my temperature drop.
"Fine, sounds good.
"More pockets on the inner left and right chest for storage. Pockets will also be available on the left and right hips to provide space for notebooks, writing fixtures, and a little tools.
Provide a shoulder strap with a button fastening to keep water bottles, binoculars, backs, etc. from falling off on your shoulders.
Also, if I wear this, I don't know the rank of the soldier, so I devise a collar badge.
"Collar... is it?
"Yeah. There were a few in the distance on the road so far earlier, but I didn't know the rank.
I don't suppose we can get to the coat for what we know about class, but do we need it to recognize it? I thought so.
Keeping a cut of the button in the collar, the collar seal should be fastened with a button fastening.
"I see. What kind of things are you thinking, by the way?
"In Smith Boy's description, he was a soldier captain, a platoon captain, a soldier's third rank, wasn't he?
"Right.
"Classically, yes, but no position between a platoon captain and a soldier?
I think someone has the role of squad leader because of the large number of people the squad leader has?
"It doesn't change my salary, but I think the squad leader is here, right?
"So shall I take the collar as class 4?
By the way, what is the color of the flag of a soldier in Earl Elvis' territory?
"That's bright red.
"Now only one white line in the middle part of the bright red rectangular cloth will be considered a soldier.
It was the squad leader who put a white line in the middle part of the bright red rectangular cloth and a star mark on it.
It was the platoon captain who put a single white line and two star marks on the central part of the bright red rectangular cloth.
How about a white line in the middle of a bright red rectangular cloth with three star marks as the soldier leader?
And you need a collar stamp with the Elvis family crest.
You will have a class chapter on your right collar and a chapter on your left collar.
"I see. Then you know the position and affiliation of the person when you face to face.
"Right. However, the creation of the chapter to which you belong is pending because permission from Count Elvis is required.
"Later, let's ask Grandpa.
"And I'm willing to make a coat like that, what's your lady's opinion?
"I can't say anything, can I?
Sounds pretty good as a feature, but that's why you said earlier to keep prices down, right?
Doesn't that just sell you a lot?
Does it mean anything else?
"Right.
First, this coat should not be individually measured.
"Huh? Isn't clothing something to measure?
"... that, at the request of an individual. You make hundreds in the future.
This also leads to ways to lower prices.
Make roughly 4 types of S.M.L.LL.
It makes reference to 155cm for S, 165cm for M, 175cm for L and 185cm for LL.
"My size is s? M? Which one is it?
"Alice, is the lady... in M?
And what do you care? I look at Alice's breasts.
Alice also stares lightly as she blushes as she sees where Takeo is looking.
"Ha. Miss Alice, you have a good style.
"Mmm..."
and Alice looks up roaring.
"Miss Alice. Soldiers, an organization, are told that there is a certain collective psychology.
When you have the same thing and strengthen your fellowship by eating the same meal.
"Yes. That's right.
"I think this coat inspires that.
And I think the group with all the exteriors is spectacular from the side.
"Indeed."
Alice snorted.
