1) Fashion across Copalli amongst the locals is roughly based off what may have been seen in ancient Mesoamerican civilizations. Some loose examples might be something along these lines and another lovely chart. Another good example are Huipil! Tunics, dresses and pants are available as well, as each city has a little bit of flair picked up from their respective Coteries and their leaders even if they're a bit incongruent with the local style.
Finding a good seamstress shouldn't be too difficult all things considered, so if Eva is ever in the market for another turtleneck they could most certainly provide so long as she doesn't mind alpaca wool!
2) Coatepec does tend to lean towards muted colors when it comes to their clothing but they're still fairly vibrant, and while they're nowhere near as flashy as Coba's residents they still enjoy adorning themselves with gold. It's not a lot since they prefer practicality over looks.
Some other examples that we hope help:
- Tikal incorporates the bulk of the animals they hunt into their garb, so seeing a Jaguar warrior and/or hunter with the entire pelt including the head acting as the hood of a cloak/part of a helmet may be fairly common, as well as claws/fangs/feathers acting as jewelry or other adornments. - Coba takes some influence from their leader, Eagle. Think tunics, high waisted pants, ribbons, ruffles, anything to make them stand out. - Kiichpan likes their brocade-esque fabrics and belts to go with them. Nobody tell them that half of it clashes with their current outfit! - Coatepec, courtesy of their love for Salamander, enjoy their fair share of cloaks and robes.Everyone loves a good cloak, and the Salamanders are no exception.
3) Textiles are most often made from cotton/maguey fibers and alpaca wool. The residents of Copalli are fantastic at making brightly colored fabrics with natural dyes, but they don't know how to work with anything synthetic. Silk is present in Kiichpan and Coatepec courtesy of some of the local wildlife/plantlife, while Coba and Tikal wind up using more leather and metals with their fabrics.
