  • The physical book is little over three hundred pages, written in Epican although several translated copies do exist. Due to the age of the originals, the number of copies is dwindling over time.
  • The book was copied to holo soon after its publication and translated into numerous languages, this is readily available to anyone with a holo connection.

A book detailing the evolution of the Epican Suit from humble beginnings as a simple button up popular by attendees at the annual steeple chases in Epica city. Through its phase as a popular mark of wealth amongst criminals and Union leaders in the industrial era up until its current, at the time of writing, as a popular fashion item for both business people and celebrities.


The Epican suit is traditionally hand made using only the finest quality materials, although some companies do make the suits in larger volumes.

The factory made suits are still kept at the highest quality but are often dubbed "machinicans" in the text and purists still use this term in a derogatory manner.


What nearly all the suits have in common, once they became popular as a full outfit was flapless pockets, ventless jackets and a high gorge. The button stance is higher than average and typically the suits slim, extremely clean silhouette. The book details how the designers came to this end through several convergent evolution streams, including a short time where vibrant colours were extremely popular, although the author laments this period, unironically calling it "The dark days of the Epican suit"​

Written and published nearly 200 years ago and quickly copied onto the holo-net, the book is very popular amongst fashion experts, particularly those trying to emulate the smart lines of the Epican Suit or understand the thought process going into such a marvelous piece of design.


The writer made himself an important figure in the Epican fashion scene and went on to see his work spread across the galaxy. He died buried in a one of a kind, hand made Epican suit.​

There's just a bit of formatting issue here. Once you fix that, I can put this through for approval.
