Coarse Longcoat Padding sits on the sun-worn table, a rough rectangle of woven canvas fused with wool, its surface pocked with tiny slubs and stitched with stubborn care. The color is a storm-gray field stitched with faint gold threads where the dye wore thin, and the edges are ragged, as if the fabric once frayed from a seam and decided to endure the journey anyway. When you pick it up, it feels stiff, almost mineral, the texture crusted with dried resin and the faint tang of iron and rain. It carries the sense of long roads and colder nights, of caravans rolling beneath open skies, of guards dozing with a hand warm on some improvised padding tucked inside the coat. In the light you can see little pinpricks of wear where the padding thickens a seam, a map of the miles it has traveled. Its lore is humble but telling: tailor-made for those who would wear warmth as armor, this padding was pressed into service in the days when merchants learned there was safety in redundancy. It helped stiffen a coarser garment into something you could ride a horse in without fear of chafing, or cushion a breastplate under a layered coat on a damp village morning. Some say it was sewn by hands that believed in practical comfort over style, a belief that a traveler’s hideout might depend on a garment that can survive a night in a rainstorm and still carry a pocketful of coins. In blades and barter, Coarse Longcoat Padding is a small thing that makes a big difference. The padding adds heft to seams, allows you to fold a longcoat without the fabric tearing, and when layered with leather, provides a modest buffer against icy gusts. Players who craft or salvage often stash a few scraps away for repairs on the road, turning a ruined lining into a wearable memory of a most recent journey. It’s a practical component that whispers of the world’s rough edges—where artisans, guards, and traders trade competence for warmth. Markets around town rarely keep a neat shelf for these patches; they drift through hands like coins in a wind, ending up wherever a traveler needs to patch a sleeve or pad a strap. Saddlebag Exchange is a common stop for those seeking a fair price: you’ll hear the telltale clink of silver—often a small sum, sometimes a surprising tier up, depending on the season and the cache of other travelers' finds. On a bright morning, a well-preserved piece might draw a few silver; on a cold, lean week when demand rises, it can fetch more. So the Coarse Longcoat Padding continues to ride the road, a modest but sturdy thread in the fabric of the world, doing its quiet work while others chase brighter glints of gear and legend. It’s not the star of any tale, but it always helps carry one. Some say its quiet stitching holds courage more than a shout, keeping you moving when others fall behind.
