So... we can't go running nakkid through the streets, can we? A wizard should have a set of proper vestments, as gaudy, tasteless and pretentious as possible. Master Winswand is no exception, and has been searching the best Discworld outfitters for his clothes.
A Wizard's main piece is his hat. Even though cheap 'wizard pointy hats' are easily available, there's nothing like the custom Agatean ones we can order at the Hat shop of the Agatean Wizards Guild, located behind the bookshop in Diamond Place, Bes Pelargic. This hat has been a long time with me (when I ordered it, I was still hardly mastering the subtle language of the Counterweight Continent), and houses lots of space for rings, charms, scrolls and other trinklets:
> l hat
This proper sapphire blue, silk crepe wizard's pointy hat has a perfectly cut lapis lazuli mounted front and centre which is surrounded by neatly embossed dragons. The embossed dragons are impressed into the silk crepe in such a way that the relief seems almost too realistic as they dance around the lapis lazuli, encircling it completely.
A shimmer of octarine radiates across the surface.
It appears to have something written on it.
The sapphire blue wizard's pointy hat has one inside pocket.
Another necessary piece is an appropiate robe. I tried my own order's once, but I found them a bit boring and easy to break. I still keep one in the wardrobe for solemn occasions, but for regular movement I prefer this other one, also ordered at a custom shop in the Bes Pelargic Wizard's Guild:
>l robe
This hand tailored bright yellow, heavy satin damask robe is lined with the finest turquoise rings. They also run the full length of the robe's front as to securely fasten it closed. On the back of this robe is an embossed firebird. The robe is so exquisitely crafted that even the embossing is encircled in tiny turquoise rings. The robe drapes to the floor in clean fluid lines and sweeps the ground gently with its subtle eloquence. Now this is a robe unlike any other.
It softly pulses in dull octarine shades.
It appears to have something written on it.
The bright yellow robe has one inside pocket.
The shoes are much less original, and as there's no nice, wizardry and light set of them (the nearest thing being the heavy necromantic boots of Dave), I stay with the modest and classic 'wizard pointy shoes', which incidentally, spoil very soon.
There was a time when I lived through an Agatean-style-and-culture craze. I still keep some quirks and bits from then, but not the gorgeous clothing (custom kimono, obi and zori), of which we'll talk some other day...

I recently misportalled through a store owned by one William Cobbler on The Soake in AM. He makes custom shoes to order . . . might be worth a visit if you haven't already.
