I have been trying for some time to find a tutorial on how to create the texture for clothes… I recently got myself a copy of marvelous designer and have been learning how to model realistic clothing easily and how to sculpt creases. I am now at a later stage and I am looking to find a suitable way of creating and applying a texture to my clothes.
I have base models already created but before I start sculpting the extra detail into them (Creases, stitches, etc.) I would like to know how to go about creating the main material detail and texture.

How would I go about creating a texture such as the leather materials seen on this character (for AC Unity) http://www.artstation.com/artwork/assassin-s-creed-unity-agressor-soldiers
(I understand this takes a lot of experience but I have seen similar results from other artists that somehow create textures such as this very often and quickly, how would they go about this?)
(is there some way of mapping a seamless texture across a masked area without having to paint/ sculpt it on manually?)
I understand how to create the creases but how would you go about colouring it and creating the textured surface effect (normal maps, bumps, specular, etc.) Is it something that is possible to 3D sculpt within zbrush or is it something that would be applied using painting techniques within zbrush.
I would also like to know how to create realistic threading and cloth like materials for clothes such as these images
