Just noticed that when you make 3 of the Red Winter Clothes, that santa will send you the pattern for if you're a high lvl tailorer, you'll get a skill up even if it's still gray for you.
The pattern requires 250 tailoring and the mats are 4 bolts of runecloth, 1 bolt of woolcloth, 2 red dyes and a rune thread.
Get your 375 tailoring cheap while you can
P.S might possibly work with the leatherworking winter veil item. Don't have a char with leatherworking so can't test this out though.
EDIT: According to a wow news-site this has now been hotfixed![]()
