Tailoring turns spider silk and animal pelts into armor for the lighter classes, plus backpacks and utility gear. The early climb is cheap silk, the mid game moves to pelt-based reinforced armor, and pelt size sets the fit, so it pays to match the pelt to the slot you want.
Every combine happens in a Sewing Kit (a Loom for some higher recipes), found near the tradeskill merchants in most towns. Your Intelligence or Wisdom (whichever is higher) governs your chance to gain a skill point, and a failed combine keeps the container but loses the ingredients, so buy your materials in bulk and expect some waste on the way up.

Pelt size sets the armor slot: wolf pelts make small pieces, cat medium, and bear large, so match the pelt to the piece you are after.
A sewing kit to combine in (a Loom for some higher recipes), plus spider silk and animal pelts. Your higher of Intelligence or Wisdom governs your skill gains.
Make Silk Swatches to 15, Raw Silk Headbands into the mid 30s, and Cured Silk Masks into the 80s, then move to pelt-based Reinforced Armor and the Wu's Fighting pieces from there.
Silk comes from spiders and drachnids, and wolf, cat, and bear pelts drop from animals across Norrath. Use High Quality pelts, and match pelt size to the slot: wolf small, cat medium, bear large.
The general tradeskill cap is 200, raised with the Crafting Mastery alternate advancement, and Tailoring recipes run up to about 250 including Velious gear.
