The wiki is very helpful and the traditional tailoring path to 158 is a little tedious but not too difficult.

1-15 -- Silk Swatches
15-36 -- Raw Silk Masks
36-82 -- Cured Silk Masks
82-88 -- Hand Made Backpacks
88-108 -- Reinforced Armor, Crystalline Silk Mask
108-115 -- Tailored Quivers, Crystalline Silk Cap
115-124 -- Crystalline Silk Gloves
124-131 -- Crystalline Silk Shirt
131-135 -- Wu's Fighting Wristbands
135-142 -- Wu's Fighting Cap
142-151 -- Wu's Fighting Sleeves
151-155 -- Wu's Fighting Pantaloons
155-158 -- Wu's Fighting Shirt

Once you get to 158 things get exponentially more expensive and time consuming. For a long time fleeting quivers and halfling and wood elf cultural armor were all we had. Velious brought us new recipes for Ice Burrower Armor, Reinforced Cobalt Drake, Reinforced Black Panther, Reinforced Haze Panther, Studded Arctic Wyvern, Studded Tigeraptor, Othmir Fur, Holgresh Fur, and Velium Hound Fur. Yet, each combine after 158 is still very costly.

So I ask... What is the most efficient way to raise tailoring above 158?
