'''Apparel''' is worn by your colonists to protect them from extreme temperatures or from [[Damage|damage]] in combat.
See a pawn's Gear tab to see what apparel they are wearing.

==Clothing vs Armor==
There are two main types of apparel, [[clothing]] and [[armor]].  Both clothing and armor use the same basic mechanics and the distinction is largely arbitrary beyond its use in sorting items. They can be mixed and matched, as far as [[Clothing Layers]] allow.

Clothing usually:
* is made from light materials (fabrics and leathers);
* offers good insulation from extreme temperatures;
* offers lower protection from damage (with the right materials, clothing can be a worthwhile "light" armor).

Armor usually:
* is made from solid materials (metal);
* offers less insulation from extreme temperatures;
* offers good protection from damage;
* gives penalties to movement speed (from wearing the armor) and to carrying capacity (from the weight of the armor).

==Layers and coverage==
{{stub|section=1}}
{{See also|Clothing Layers|Table of Human Body Parts}}
Apparel combinations are limited by layer and coverage - an item cannot be worn with another item covering the same body parts and on the same layer. Thus, items covering the same parts but on different layers are compatible, as are items on the same layer but with no overlap in coverage. Items that cover multiple layers conflict with items on all layers.

== Protection ==
Colonists wearing protective apparel have a chance of outright avoiding all damage from an attack, as the item can sometimes utterly deflect a bullet or a melee strike. This will be represented by a "tink" sound and a spark. They may also receive a mitigated blow, for only half of the damage.

There are several types of armor ratings. They are expressed as percentages. The maximum armor rating per type is 200%.
<div><li style="display: inline-table;">
{| {{STDT| c_08 text-center}}
! Name !! Label !! Description
|- style="text-align:left;"
! [[Injury#Sharp|Sharp]]
| Armor - Sharp || Protection against piercing damage like bullets, knife stabs, and animal bites. These attacks will cause cuts, stabs or gunshot wounds, which in turn are prone to cause bleeding. Even the lightest clothing material seems to offer some protection against sharp damage.
|- style="text-align:left;"
! [[Injury#Blunt|Blunt]]
| Armor - Blunt || Protection against blunt damage like fist and [[club]] attacks, rock falls, explosions, and strikes with ranged weapons at melee range. This protection is generally limited, and blunt weapons will generally have to deal with less armor than an equivalent tier sharp weapon.
|- style="text-align:left;"
! [[Injury#Heat|Heat]]
| Armor - Heat || Protection against fire damage from natural fires and fire weapons such as [[molotov cocktail]]s, as well as [[lightning|lightning strikes]]. Heat damage seems to never have armor penetration. Not to be mistaken with Heat Insulation.

</li><div>
===Calculation===
The armor calculation is applied for each item of apparel the pawn is wearing that covers the targeted body part, from the outside in. Thus, if a pawn in only a [[duster]], [[flak vest]] and [[tribalwear]] was struck in the torso, it would:
# Calculate the effect of duster first as it is on the outer layer
# If any residual damage remained it would calculate for the effect of the flak vest as it is on the middle layer, 
# If any residual damage remained it would calculate for the effect of the tribalwear as it is on the skin layer, 
# Finally if any residual damage still remained, it would then be applied to the pawn. 
Meanwhile if struck the arm, then only the calculation would only be performed for the duster, as neither the vest nor tribalwear cover the arm. And if they were struck in the head, then the damage would be directly applied to the pawn as nothing covers that part. Alternatively, if the pawn was wearing a item that occupies multiple layers, such as wearing [[Marine armor]] in place of the duster and flak vest, they are only calculated against on their outer-most layer, leaving the other layer(s) they occupy effectively unarmored. Thus in that example, a strike to the torso would calculate against the marine armor once, then the tribalwear, before any remaining damage being applied to the pawn. Armor that takes up multiple layers typically has higher armor values to make up for this, however, so they can often still be worthwhile, especially when armor penetration is accounted for.  See the [[#Analysis|Analysis]] section below for details.

In-game this is calculated as follows:
#The armor rating is reduced by the armor penetration value, dependent on the weapon. This gives the "effective armor rating". '''Note''': While armor penetration is given as a percentage, it is ''subtracted'' from the target's armor, not used as a multiplier. E.g. if a target with 150% armor is attacked using a weapon with 50% armor penetration, the result is 150% - 50% = 100% effective armor rating, ''not'' 150% * (1 - 50%) = 75% effective armor rating.
#The effective armor rating is then compared against a random number from 0 to 100:
#*If the random number is under half the armor rating, the damage deflects harmlessly.
#*If the random number is over half the armor rating, but not higher than the armor rating, the damage is halved.
#*If the random number is greater than the armor rating, the armor has no effect.
#If any damage remains, then the same process is applied to the next item on a lower layer using the new damage (if halved) or full damage (if the armor had no effect) and retaining the full AP of the attack. Damage halving is applied multiplicatively - so if the two layers both half the damage, the pawn receives one quarter of the damage.

====Sharp damage====
If the damage is Sharp, and any layer halves the damage, then any resulting damage to the pawn will be changed to Blunt damage.

'''Note:''' despite the common misconception, the armor effect of layers below will still be calculated against the ''sharp armor rating'' of those layers, '''not''' against the blunt armor rating.  So if a pawn wears a duster over a flak vest, and the duster halves the damage of an incoming sharp attack, converting it to blunt damage in the process, the flak vest will still use its sharp armor rating for its attempt at mitigating the damage.

====Flame damage====
Heat armor works to prevent [[Damage Types#Flame|Flame]] damage from injuring the pawn using the same process as any other armor and damage type, but any Flame damage that actually deals damage to the pawn has a chance to set the pawn on [[fire]]. This ignition chance is the same regardless of the damage dealt to the pawn, so long as some damage is actually dealt. Thus if the Heat Armor does not outright negate the damage, it otherwise does nothing to prevent the pawn from being ignited. 

While [[Damage Types#Burn|Burn]] damage is otherwise identical to Flame damage, including its interaction with heat armor, it cannot ignite pawns.

===Analysis===
Thus each ''effective'' point of armor gives 0.5% to harmlessly deflect damage, and another 0.5% chance to mitigate it, instead receiving half the damage as blunt damage. Each effective armor point below 100% results in a net 0.75% reduction in damage, while each point above results in a 0.25% reduction. This means that at 200% effective armor rating, colonists will be completely immune to damage; this currently works only on heat damage which lacks armor penetration, and can be seen on [[mechanoid]]s. [[Cataphract armor]] at Legendary quality comes at a close second, reaching 200% sharp rating, but all sharp attacks have armor penetration meaning that even a pawn hit too many times will fall.

Armor is calculated per item of apparel, from the item occupying the outermost layer in. Armor mitigation does stack multiplicatively, e.g. two pieces of armor layered on top of each other can each mitigate the damage by 50%, reducing it to 25% of the base damage. Each layer also has an independent chance to entirely negate the damage, using the above calculation steps.

Armor Penetration is applied identically to each layer.  This means that, while multiple layers of armor each have more chances to mitigate the damage, layering apparel with low armor values may do little or nothing against projectiles with high armor penetration, while a single layer of high armor value may be able to mitigate it.

For example a pawn with both a [[devilstrand]] [[Button-down shirt|shirt]] with sharp armor of 28% and a [[toughskin gland]] with sharp armor 35% would always receive full damage from a [[charge rifle]], as its armor penetration of 35% completely nullifies the protection of both items. This is why higher armor values may be preferable over multiple layers of much lower armor values. However there is little reason not to stack the best protection on your pawns when the items not mutually exclusive. A hyperweave shirt might still stop an assault rifle bullet that penetrates a flak vest, and it could be the only thing protecting the pawns arm.

Note that armor does not stop weapons with sufficient stopping power from staggering colonists, even if the damage is deflected.

== Durability ==
Apparel, including armor, takes damage from several factors. It takes 1 HP of damage for every 4 points of damage dealt to the wearer, provided the damage is applied to that layer and location. Thus, if an attack hits a pawn's torso and is stopped by apparel on the Outer layer, such as a [[Duster]], the duster will receive damage, but a torso-covering item on Middle layer, such as a [[Flak vest]] will receive no damage. If the duster were to halve the damage instead, then the flak vest would receive half of the durability damage, while the duster would receive full damage.

The damage to the item is the same regardless of whether it deflects all the damage, half the damage, or no damage, just so long as the attack is calculated against that item.  The durability damage is calculated off of the raw damage as it reaches that layer, before that layer's mitigation is applied. Therefore, as [[quality]] does not affect an item's HP, high-quality armor lasts about as long as low-quality armor in combat, but will better protect lower layers from damage.

Apparel also takes damage when the pawn wearing it is on fire.  Each time the fire deals damage to the pawn, it deals the same amount of damage to a random piece of worn apparel.

All apparel worn by a pawn has a 40% chance to take 1 HP of damage each day (so on average, each piece of apparel takes about 0.4 HP of damage per day).  This effect is only applied to pawns in a map - pawns in caravans, transport pods etc do not suffer apparel damage in this way.

Finally, when a pawn is killed by an attack, all worn apparel takes anywhere between 15% and 40% of its current hit points in damage.

==Insulation==
[[File:Legendary muffalo wool parka.png|500px|thumb|right|In-game insulation stats from a legendary muffalo wool parka]]
Insulation offers protection against extreme temperatures like freezing cold and scorching heat. Every pawn and every animal has a natural range of acceptable temperatures.  By default a naked human has a very narrow acceptable temperature range of {{Temperature|{{Q|Human|Min Comfortable Temperature}}|{{Q|Human|Max Comfortable Temperature}}}}, so you'll need to wear apparel to survive in the harsh environment of a rimworld.

===Insulation from a single piece of apparel===
Apparel can offer "'''Insulation - Cold'''", which protects from extremely cold temperatures, and "'''Insulation - Heat'''" which protects from extremely hot temperatures.
The amount of insulation a piece of apparel offers is equal to:

  Insulation = Material insulation * Apparel insulation_factor * Quality multiplier

* '''Material insulation''': the material used to create an article of apparel has a large impact on how much insulation a piece of apparel offers.  For example, [[muffalo wool]] offers {{Temperature|{{Q|Muffalo wool|Insulation - Cold Factor}}||delta}} of insulation from cold, while [[birdskin]] only offers {{Temperature|{{Q|Birdskin|Insulation - Cold Factor}}||delta}}. See [[textile]]s for a full comparison of clothing options.
* '''Apparel insulation factor''': each type of apparel has an insulation factor associated with it. For example, [[parka]]s have an insulation factor - cold of {{Q|Parka|Insulation Factor - Cold}}, so a normal muffalo wool parka offers {{Temperature|{{#expr:{{Q|Muffalo wool|Insulation - Cold Factor}}*{{Q|Parka|Insulation Factor - Cold}}}}||delta}} of insulation from cold. See [[clothing]] for a full comparison.
* '''Quality multiplier''': the [[quality]] of an item influences it's insulation as well. For example, legendary quality offers a 1.8x increase in insulation, so a legendary muffalo wool parka offers {{Temperature|{{#expr:{{Q|Muffalo wool|Insulation - Cold Factor}}*{{Q|Parka|Insulation Factor - Cold}}*1.8}}||delta}} of insulation from cold. See [[quality]] for a full comparison.

===Total insulation for a pawn===
[[File:Total insulation cold.png|500px|thumb|right|Total cold insulation for a pawn wearing a legendary muffalo wool parka and a poor quality cloth button-down shirt]]
The total insulation for a pawn is the sum of the insulation from each piece of apparel.  A pawn's minimum comfortable temperature is reduced by their total '''Insulation - Cold''', while their maximum comfortable temperature is increased by their '''Insulation - Heat'''.

For example, consider a pawn wearing a legendary [[muffalo wool]] [[parka]] and a poor quality [[cloth]] [[button-down shirt]].  By default, humans have an acceptable temperature range of {{Temperature|{{Q|Human|Min Comfortable Temperature}}|{{Q|Human|Max Comfortable Temperature}}}}. We can find the new temperature range by computing the insulation from the clothing, then adding to the base insulation:

'''Computing insulation from clothing'''
  '''Parka cold insulation''' = muffalo wool cold insulation * parka cold insulation factor * legendary modifier
  = {{Q|Muffalo wool|Insulation - Cold Factor}}°C * {{#expr:100*{{Q|Parka|Insulation Factor - Cold}}}}% * 1.8
  = '''{{#expr: {{Q|Muffalo wool|Insulation - Cold Factor}} * {{Q|Parka|Insulation Factor - Cold}} * 1.8}}°C'''

  '''Parka heat insulation''' = muffalo wool heat insulation * parka heat insulation factor * legendary modifier
  = {{Q|Muffalo wool|Insulation - Heat Factor}}°C * {{#expr:100*{{Q|Parka|Insulation Factor - Heat}}}}% * 1.8
  = '''{{#expr: {{Q|Muffalo wool|Insulation - Heat Factor}} * {{Q|Parka|Insulation Factor - Heat}} * 1.8}}°C'''

  '''Shirt cold insulation''' = cloth cold insulation * shirt modifier * poor modifier
  = {{Q|Cloth|Insulation - Cold Factor}}°C * {{#expr:100*{{Q|Button-down shirt|Insulation Factor - Cold}}}}% * 0.9
  = '''{{#expr: {{Q|Cloth|Insulation - Cold Factor}} * {{Q|Button-down shirt|Insulation Factor - Cold}} * 0.9 round 1}}°C'''

  '''Shirt heat insulation''' = cloth heat insulation * shirt modifier * poor modifier
  = {{Q|Cloth|Insulation - Heat Factor}}°C * {{#expr:100*{{Q|Button-down shirt|Insulation Factor - Heat}}}}% * 0.9
  = '''{{#expr: {{Q|Cloth|Insulation - Heat Factor}} * {{Q|Button-down shirt|Insulation Factor - Heat}} * 0.9 round 1}}°C'''

'''Adding to base insulation'''
  '''Minimum acceptable temperature''' = default minimum acceptable temperature - parka cold insulation - shirt cold insulation
  = 16 - {{#expr: {{Q|Muffalo wool|Insulation - Cold Factor}} * {{Q|Parka|Insulation Factor - Cold}} * 1.8}} - {{#expr: {{Q|Cloth|Insulation - Cold Factor}} * {{Q|Button-down shirt|Insulation Factor - Cold}} * 0.9 round 1}}
  = '''{{#expr: 16 - ({{Q|Muffalo wool|Insulation - Cold Factor}} * {{Q|Parka|Insulation Factor - Cold}} * 1.8) - ({{Q|Cloth|Insulation - Cold Factor}} * {{Q|Button-down shirt|Insulation Factor - Cold}} * 0.9) round 1}}°C'''

  '''Maximum acceptable temperature''' = default maximum acceptable temperature + parka heat insulation + shirt heat insulation
  = 26 + {{#expr: {{Q|Muffalo wool|Insulation - Heat Factor}} * {{Q|Parka|Insulation Factor - Heat}} * 1.8}} + {{#expr: {{Q|Cloth|Insulation - Heat Factor}} * {{Q|Button-down shirt|Insulation Factor - Heat}} * 0.9 round 1}}
  = '''{{#expr: 26 + ({{Q|Muffalo wool|Insulation - Heat Factor}} * {{Q|Parka|Insulation Factor - Heat}} * 1.8) + ({{Q|Cloth|Insulation - Heat Factor}} * {{Q|Button-down shirt|Insulation Factor - Heat}} * 0.9) round 1}}°C'''

So the new comfortable range is: '''-89°C to 27.6°C'''

==Flammability==
How likely the item is to burst into flames while in storage. Often Heat Protection and this value are related. It is entirely dependent on the material.

It is unclear if it affects the chance for a Pawn to catch fire while standing in a burning tile.

==Damaged apparel==
Apparel suffers wear and tear when worn causing it to lose hit points over time. They also become damaged when the wearer is attacked, and the apparel absorbs some damage as armor.

A colonist wearing badly damaged apparel will have one of the following thoughts. These debuffs do not stack, only one is given based on the apparel with the worst condition.

Durability does not affect stats such as protection and insulation.

|}

==Nudity==
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Does what a nudist consider nudity depend on the ideoligion's definition of nudity?}}
In RimWorld Core, male colonists are considered naked when their legs are not covered, while female colonists are considered naked when either their legs or chest are not covered.  
Most colonists will receive a -6 mood penalty from being naked, triggering an alert prompting the player to seek suitable clothing. 

For Nudists the opposite is true - they receive a +20 mood bonus while naked and a -3 mood penalty while clothed.

With the [[Ideology (DLC)]] installed and active, Nudity, both in required coverage and the reaction to it, instead depend on the [[Ideoligion]]{{IdeologyIcon}} of the pawn and its precepts.

==Special Values==
Clothing can have very specific secondary values. The more common ones are:
* Negative movement Speed. This is mostly seen with armor
* Bonus to social skills. This is a extremely common stat for any form of headwear that is not armor
* Pain Threshold. Specific to Tribal clothing, this increases when a character will collapses from damage

== Tainted Apparel ==
Clothing stripped from corpses is considered tainted apparel and is noted with a T. Colonists wearing tainted apparel gain a persistent mood debuff as long as they're wearing it- colonists with [[Traits|Bloodlust]] do not seem to mind, however.

Disposal is usually the only option as traders do not buy them (as of 0.19).

==Disposal==
Apparel can be destroyed using a [[crematorium]] or a [[campfire]]. Simply create a "Burn apparel" bill, and be sure to uncheck anything you want to keep.

==Materials==
A number of Materials is available for Clothing and Armor. Not every piece supports every material and a lot of the protective power of armor and insulation of clothing actually comes from the used material, rather than something unique to the item.

===Armor Materials===
These materials are primarily used for armor. It includes any metal and in rare cases, even wood. (Note that even though jade has armor and insulation modifiers, it can't be used for any type of apparel.)

== Common combinations ==
{{Rewrite|section=1|reason=Currently a C&P from clothing. Needs adaption to all apparel, general analysis, suggested combos need some TLC. Whole section needs TLC}}
Apparel combinations are limited by layer and coverage, and this selective incompatibility leads to trends in combinations that are discussed and compared here.

=== On Skin Layer ===
The skin layer combinations are consistent throughout the life of a colony as the early options are not replaced in the late game, and are worn under armor for the entire game.

This layer is dominated by two options: [[Tribalwear]] or [[Button-down shirt]] + [[Pants]]

[[Tribalwear]] offers the best thermal insulation.  Meanwhile, [[Button-down shirt]] + [[Pants]] in turn has better armor values and coverage. The advantages of the button-down combo are only relevant when protective textiles are used, as lower tier textiles will offer so little armor as to be outright ignored by enemy weapon AP and rendering the armor and coverage advantage moot. The [[T-shirt]] is an inferior version of the button down shirt and should be avoided as a t-shirt and pants offers identical coverage and worse stats and material cost than tribalwear of the same quality and material. The [[formal shirt]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} will replace the button-down for [[noble]]s {{RoyaltyIcon}} of a certain rank but there is little reason to do so otherwise. The [[eltex shirt]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} is similarly useful for [[psycast]]ers {{RoyaltyIcon}} but cannot be crafted and provides less protection - however, as noted the protection offered by shirts is fairly minor in most circumstances.

=== Middle ===
The middle layer is primarily the realm of Armor, with the [[Eltex vest]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} and [[Corset]]/[[Formal vest]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} being the only Clothing items that use it. What option is selected here will depend on the stage of the game and military strategies employed.

=== Head Layer ===
This layer is dominated by three options: hats (textile), masks (wood/metal), and helmets, and in that the hats are dominated by the [[Broadwrap]] {{IdeologyIcon}} and the [[Bowler hat]], with the masks dominated by the [[Visage mask]] {{IdeologyIcon}}

The [[Broadwrap]] offers superior physical protection and the highest level of coverage of all headwear. The [[Bowler hat]] provides a 15% boost social impact. The [[Visage mask]] provides the highest sharp, blunt, and heat AP base modifier of 0.3

Of note are both the masterwork and legendary wooden [[War mask]]. Both of which are highly protective with a bonus to maximum pain threshold. 

Situationally, due to heat or cold, the [[Cowboy hat]] and the [[Tuque]] offer better temperature insulation, respectfully.

For slaves, if biome is very hot, the shadecone is preferred to the Cowboy hat, due to it not decreasing the slaves suppression. The slave collar, which increases suppression, technically occupies this layer, however it covers the neck only and thus has limited incompatibility.

=== Outer ===
The Outer layer is primarily for armor and additional clothing layers. They can be combined with shirts, [[flak pants]], and [[flak vest]]s.

The [[Parka]] is the perfect option for Cold Resistance, as it outright doubles the material values. Accordingly, it should be always made from whatever material has the highest base values. 

The [[Duster]] is a cowboy attire. Aside from good heat insulation, it also offers decent protection. The cape is the Noble apparel statistical equal of the duster.

The [[Jacket]] is a common item. Crashlanded survivors start with one. It is a good balance between protection and insulation.

For slaves, the slave body strap occupies this slot, unless the biome is extremely cold or hot, due to it increasing the slaves suppression, while providing nearly no protection.

=== Suggested apparel progression ===
What constitutes the "correct" apparel for pawns depends on a variety of factors including game-stage, [[biome]] both for available [[materials]] and [[temperature]] concerns, [[difficulty]], strategies employed, the presence or absence of [[DLC]] and even what a player considers acceptable risk. 
The suggested loadouts presented below represent a rough timeline suitable for [[Biomes#Warm Biomes|comfortable biomes]] and moderate difficulty, and with some common sense modifications will fit most playstyles.

'''Industrial - Early''':
The [[synthread]] apparel you start with should suffice for the early game. Start hunting and begin crafting [[button-down shirt]]s and [[duster]]s.

'''Industrial - Mid''':
The best apparel combo for this stage of the game is [[button-down shirt]] and a pair of [[pants]] on the skin layer, a [[flak vest]] in the middle, and a [[duster]] on the top. This combination offers good amounts of protection without compromising the movement speed of a pawn.

'''Industrial - Late''':
The best combo for the late game is a pair of pants and a button down shirt on the bottom layer,  a [[marine armor]] set for ranged pawns, or a set of [[recon armor]] with a [[shield belt]] for melee pawns. For [[Royalty]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} owners, [[cataphract armor]] is recommended for ranged fighters, and a set of [[locust armor]] and a shield belt is suggested for melee brawlers because of the installed [[jump pack]] that frees up an utility slot for the shield belt.

'''Royal Fighter {{RoyaltyIcon}}''':
Royal pawns that are also fighters should wear the [[prestige armor|prestige]] versions of the Industrial - Late combo.

'''Royal Psycaster {{RoyaltyIcon}}''':
Pawns that are [[title|nobles]] and have fighting as a secondary priority, equip the pawn with full eltex gear. The recommended combo is: an [[eltex skullcap]], an [[eltex robe]], an [[eltex vest]], and an [[eltex shirt]]. This is full eltex set is hard to acquire, so they can use the Royal Fighter combo or just the normal clothing requirements for the title, such as the prestige robe and formal vest.

== Version history ==
* [[Version/0.8.657|0.8.657]] - Apparel insulation introduced with temperature system.
* [[Version/0.9.722|0.9.722]] - Apparel becomes damaged when owner dies from violence, takes the damage it absorbs as armor and wears out over very long periods of use. Tattered apparel [[mood|thought]] added.
* Beta 19 - System changed d100 system. Previously each point of armor from 1 - 50% reduced damage by 1%, each point of armor between 51 - 100% provided a 1% chance to not take damage, each point of armor beyond 100% reduced damage by 0.25% and gives a 0.25% chance to not take damage. Total protection capped at 90% damage reduction and 90% deflect chance (i.e. 260% armor rating).
* [[Version/1.2.2753|1.2.2753]] - Apparel scoring algorithm no longer ignores heat armor, significantly shifting upgrading priorities e.g. pawns "upgrading" to [[Devilstrand]] [[duster]]s over [[Thrumbofur]], despite the significant detriment to Sharp protection.
