WoW Tailoring Guide
Tailoring is a useful profession to have but between buying your class skills, tailoring skills, and using a lot of cloth for your First Aid you might find yourself trying to farm cloth. DON’T! Seriously, don’t spend time grinding or farming when you don’t have to. Buy your cloth and recipes from the Auction House. If you are saying, “Yeah, right…I have 15 silver right now” STOP AND TAKE A LOOK AT THIS site.
Here is an apprentice to mastery tailoring guide (levels 1 to 375). The process for tailoring is among one of the most demanding professions to power leveling, requiring an amazingly large amount of Netherweave (around 3,000) just to get through the 300s. Below are step by step instructions to power level tailoring using only basic recipes and materials. You'll see comments for most of the cloth, basically these are linchpins to tailoring. Unfortunately Blizzard has created a high demand for cloth throughout the tailoring skill but only allowed you to gain 10-15 levels per tier. You'll find yourself crafting 450 Bolts of Netherweave and gaining only 25 levels (300-325), one of the most expensive and time consuming steps in this power leveling process. Enjoy!
Apprentice Tailoring requires a bunch of linen and some miscellaneous things from the tradeskill vendor. This can be easily obtained as your leveling or you can go back to place like the Dead Mines later to farm the linen you need. I suggest you get 180 linen cloth, the minimum you'll need is 160, but since Linen Bags turns yellow at level 70, you might need a few extra. Make sure you save all the bolts of linen that you make until you're level 75.

Journeyman Tailoring is the wool stage of tailoring. You'll need at least 150 Wool Cloth to craft the 50 Bolts of Woolen Cloth you'll need from 105-125. However, I recommend you get 180 to make sure you reach level 105 and have enough extra bolts to reach 115 while crafting Gray Woolen Shirts. For me wool cloth was cheap enough to just grab on the Auction House, I paid around 50s per stack or 9 gold total. The rest of the materials can be found at a the vendor.

To become an expert tailor and learn the following crafts you'll need to visit either Georgio Bolero in Stormwind or Josef Gregorian in Undercity. You'll need at most (hopefully) 800 silk cloth to craft 200 Bolts and thus levels 145-215. The best place to get silk is either Scarlet Monastery or the Auction House, it's one of the most popular clothes so it typically is less expensive than mageweave. Note that when you get to level 175 you'll stop to craft at least 10 Bolts of mageweave to reach 185.

For at least the next 35 levels you'll want to head to Timothy Worthington in Dustwallow Marsh or Daryl Stack in Hillsbrad Foothills along with your 87 bolts of mageweave. These, along with some cheap dye and thread will get you to level 250.

Once you reach level 250 you'll want to start collecting Runecloth and Rugged Leather. It will cost you at most 980 runecloth and about 130 rugged leather. You'll also want to start looking for the pattern for Runecloth Bags sold in Winterspring. If you can't find this pattern don't fret, you'll just need an extra 10 rugged leather and 5 extra Bolts of Runecloth (25 Runecloth) to make it from 275 to 280 making Runecloth Gloves instead. The gloves will turn green at 290 so it might take as many as 20 crafts to hit 300, this is accounted for in the total materials row.

Hi retard, it's Imbued
Hi retard, it's Imbued Netherweave Robe/Tunic, bought from Scryers in Shadowmoon Valley, which isn't even learnable until you are 360. It's orange at 360, and turns yellow at 370. Perhaps you were thinking about Netherweave Robe/Tunic instead.
Get your facts straight next time before you even attempt to correct other people.
You seem to be getting
You seem to be getting confused with Netherweave Robe and Imbued Netherweave Robe. Netherweave robe goes grey at 360, however the Imbued Netherweave robe which can only be learnt at lvl 360 does not.

I guess the way you reply or correct someone makes you feel superior in some sense. How shallow your life must be to have this frame of mind.

From 275-300 I'd recommend wizardweave leggins. On my server rugged leather costs way too much where as if you use dream dust and then disenchant the leggings after you get more dream dust back than you started with.
