While things such as sieges, insectoid invasions, or other such martial emergencies could call for the everyday citizen of Hearth-Under-Stone to arms at a moment's notice, the daily dress was primarily comfort and practicality.
The standard cotton ichcahupilli would be modified according to the wearer's preferences by dyeing in patterns, and with precise cut being up to the tailor who made it. Sleeves were popular for the non-military population, with the non-Noxfolk appreciating the warmth it provided and the ranching and farming population appreciating the protection from the Sun's harsh rays, when they were caught out past dawn. Workers of all types also appreciated the protection against the incidentals that manual labor brought, be it the spilled boiling pot or the spall of cut stone.
Pants, or rather chaps, were also popular among the non-Noxfolk population. While most Noxfolk would prefer more skin-to-air contact due to their genetic inability to thermo-regulate via sweating, they also found use to the leg protection while laboring but required some kind of vent to allow for cooling, leading to the compromise in design from the large amount of Noxfolk demand.
The shadmaker hat, on the other hand, was easily the most popular garment in Hearth-Under-Stone's history. Not only allowing Noxfolk to exit the city proper without great eye pain, it allowed the non-Noxfolk to work outdoors without worry of heat. The exact designs varied wildly, with tallness of the crown and choice of accessories being particularly fickle to the calls of fashion, but the wide brim was a constant.
Capes were another standard that became codified in the era. While originally shunned due to the excess of precious cotton, the new trade routes allowed its utility to shine through. The Noxfolk could shield themselves from the Sun as easily as the Non-Noxfolk could protect themselves from the cold. The broad space allowed for all kinds of dye to be applied. And some would even commission capes made of particularly protective materials to augment their ichcahupilli, should they feel the need.
