About this mod

Another entry in the series covering potential followers this time out. The usual offering.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Another effort to diversify Skyrim (and Solstheim this time) in fashion terms. This one focuses on followers, both those who can be hired for cash and those who will join you if you help them out. It is not exhaustive and does not cover certain NPCs. As an example I didn't cover Uthgerd or Mjoll since I think they are outfitted appropriately. The only female covered is Jenassa, and her outfit uses vanilla meshes via texture sets so if you only use female body replacers this should be perfectly compatible (though obviously NOT compatible with male body replacers like HIMBO). Most of the outfits are also craftable and temperable where appropriate once you have the relevant perks i.e. for Jenassa's armour set (including a bonus helmet she doesn't wear) you need the Elven Smithing perk. Creating COBJ records is the least fun of all the things. Ever? Possibly. 

I have also provided a small 'mini-mod' which covers just Jenassa if you use male body replacers and can't run the main file or if it is just more your style. Options is what it is all about.

I know I said I wouldn't support SPID previously and once again I struggled to get outfits distributed to certain NPCS with the main file (WHY!!!!), but it worked flawlessly (on my end) for Jenassa so I've provided an SPID option for the mini-mod. Perhaps the issue is the size of the ini, seems to work best on a small scale. 

Credits
Sforzinda, as always - relied upon heavily. Meshes and Textures utilised can be found here sforz makes mods (tumblr.com)
MANHUNTER69 for the slimline dwarven boots mesh from Reshaped Dwarven Armor
NordwarUA for, you guessed it, the Fur Collar from Sons of Skyrim
gearshout for a combination of Mercenary Light Iron Armor and Nord Vagabond Armor and Black Bear Ancient Nord Armor
BecomingNplus1 for the fingerless gloves from Detailed NPCs - Fingerless Gloves for NPCs (SPID) and by extension the original mod author AndyTheLegend
Magink666 for the warmer looking Ancient Nord Armor from Sleeves of Skyrim
FranklinZunge and all associated contributors for the work Sforzinda used as a base
xavbio for some normal maps used from Chitin Armors Retexture SE 
Nostalgic for the fantastic suggestion for Teldryn Sero which also led me onto another couple Dragonborn followers.

So now the who and why:

Benor - I broadly felt he was wearing appropriate stuff, but now he has sleeves and a warm bit of fur considering he lives in Morthal.
Faendal - I wanted him to have a hunter vibe. Bit of a mix and match of various things. 
Sven - I was going for a bit of a 'Dandelion in Skyrim' vibe.
Vorstag - A mercenary fascinated by Dwemer ruins, and considering he lives in Markarth he now has a scrounged Dwemer look. 
Jenassa - I considered a few things but ultimately decided a unique set of Chitin armour was the best for her. Outfit (including a helmet she doesn't wear) is constructible.
Teldryn Sero - The Dunmer Spellsword now looks Spellsword-y. 
Talvas Fathryon - An apprentice to Master Neloth, I wanted to maintain a visual style consistent with his location. 
Ralis Sedarys -  Why would a miner be wearing a full set of leather armour? Now looks like a miner who up-armoured to venture out into the wilds.
Cosnach - A drunk who works at Arnleif and Sons, went with a rough set of armour a poorer man might drum up. 
Marcurio - A battlemage deserves fitting accoutrement. 
Belrand - Another Spellsword, entirely subjective but I feel the outfit complements both his fighting style and his surroundings with dashes of imperial red. 
Erik the Slayer (NOT farmer Erik - he is split into 2 different NPCs) -  His skill is light armour so Bethesda naturally gave him a set of heavy armour. Now he wears what I would call a 'light heavy' set of armour (but has light keywords in order for him to benefit accordingly). Also felt it fitted him being a slightly poorer, more rustic adventurer. 
Stenvar - A Nord warrior from an ancient Nord city, I like the look the warm ancient armour affords him, with clawed gauntlets to make him appear a mite more intimidating.

Aaaand that's it. Enjoy.
