~~ KNIGHTWEAR ALTERATION INFO ~~~
The celsylk surcoat may be altered within guidelines for its item type, but the noun must remain something almost exactly identical to a surcoat -- tabards and longer similar items that can have a loose fit are acceptable; short shirts, aprons, vests, bodices, etc. are not acceptable.  Any show descriptions MUST incorporate the surcoat's design.

Optional: specify the material in messaging -- default is "fabric".  It is currently set to: grey-toned celsylk.

Required: specify the in-brief design/markings on the surcoat.  The design should not be over-complicated nor too wordy (it displays in verb messaging output).  Must make sense in the following:  "gesture at the __________ on your celsylk surcoat" -- default is  "interlocking serpent and phoenix design".  It is currently set to: soaring thielfiras.

Optional: detailed design/marking.  This is a more detailed description of the in-brief design that will show up in LOOK/SHOW.  This should only describe the above design/pattern and should always make sense on a fabric surcoat.  The in-brief design currently has no extra detailing.
