Multiple-Location Fabric

This type of fabric can be distinguished by the simplicity of the TAP. In all known cases, this item will be:

The <style> of the fabrics are usually a material, such as Elven silk, moonsilk, etc. While these items can be worn as a piece of a character's clothing, they are also considered good to use as a base material to offer alterers during alteration sessions.
