I've had the idea that, in the earliest days of HQ, when there were fewer agents, and maybe less available/reliable disguise technology, maybe HQ had a tailor? Obviously, a lot of missions require a species change, but for an agent team that focused on a small number of continua, and who were already of a correct species, maybe having a costume set for each agent would allow for blending in across multiple missions, without needing to use (and wear out) technology? I know it's purely speculative, since nowadays the disguise generator and DORKs are more standard, but it might be a fun detail for anyone who fills in more details from the Lofty Skies era. (And consider this permission for anyone doing so to use the concept, if they like.)

My personal vision was that the tailor's room was run by a very large man (because the little old lady who first popped into my head felt too much a dull stereotype), assisted by three non-speaking Neverland fairies. I won't hold anyone using the concept to this, though; if nothing else, the tailor likely needs a weekend, so there's presumably space for at least one other tailor to occupy the role, as well!
