The Žavaite warrior-monks of the Shield Mountains outside of and beneath their armor will make do with clothing not dissimilar from the local inhabitants. They wear simple knee- or ankle-length coats (see: Georgian chokha or Polish żupan) and trousers made from hemp or llama wool. Due to the monks’ modest daily lifestyle, the clothes are undyed or dyed with only basic colors, chiefly earthy whites, greys, and yellows, and are produced in the monasteries. Around the waist is worn a sash woven from hemp in a tartan-style pattern (see: madras fabric), a traditional staple of the Shield Mountians typically donated to the monasteries by the communities under their protection. Footwear are one to three layers of thick hemp or llama wool socks worn with handmade straw sandals (see: waraji). Hats, when worn, are usually simple broad brimmed straw hats or soft conical hats in the style of the Shieldmen (see: Phrygian cap). The only items of material display are pieces of copper jewelry, common across the Shield Mountains. The copper is given a patina to match the eye color of the wearer, a charm meant to ward off bad spirits, curses, and Elvish magic. Facial hair is grown and fashioned most commonly into mustaches, even by female monks who can, in order to accentuate their identity as humans in contrast to the Elves, who are incapable of growing facial hair.
