Footprint sizes in Manor Lordsvary by patch and (for burgage plots) by how you draw them in-game. Use the planner's drag-to-size tool to match what you see on your map — we don't hardcode any dimensions here.

Where to place the tailor's workshop

  • •Place the tailor near the storehouse and marketplace so finished clothing reaches the goods stalls quickly.
  • •Keep it close to your yarn supply so the workshop isn't bottlenecked waiting on input materials.
  • •Site it within your craft district rather than out among fields, since it's a processing workshop, not a gathering one.
  • •Ensure a road connection so haulers can move yarn in and clothing out efficiently.
  • •A burgage plot can host this workshop as a backyard extension; place it where the assigned household is convenient to the supply chain.

Strategy & timing

  • •Build the tailor once you have a wool and yarn supply chain running, since it depends on yarn as input.
  • •Set up the chain in order: sheep/wool, then yarn (spinning), then the tailor for clothing.
  • •Selling surplus clothing at a trading post can be a solid income source given its position late in the production chain.

Common mistakes

  • ×Building the tailor before securing a steady yarn supply, leaving it idle.
  • ×Placing it far from the market so the clothing it makes never reaches families who need it.
  • ×Forgetting that clothing is a higher-tier plot need and skipping it, which stalls upgrades to advanced homes.

Frequently asked

What does the tailor need to make clothing?

It needs yarn, which is spun from wool earlier in the chain. Without a yarn supply the tailor can't produce clothing.

Why do I need clothing in my town?

Clothing is a marketplace good that satisfies a higher-level burgage plot need, helping homes upgrade toward Level 3.

Is clothing worth selling?

Yes, finished clothing sits late in the wool chain and can fetch a good price at a trading post, making surplus a useful income stream.
