Tribalwear is the only neolithic item of clothing in RimWorld. It covers both the torso and legs, meaning it is worn in place of a shirt and pants.

Acquisition

Tribalwear can be crafted at a Crafting spot, Hand tailor bench, and Crafting spot once the [[Research#|]] research project has been completed. They require 60 Stuff (Leathery/Fabric) and 1,800 ticks (30 secs) of work.

They can also be bought from tribal traders and faction bases. Tribalwear is also commonly found on almost all kinds of tribal raiders.

Analysis

Tribalwear removes the Naked debuff from colonists of both genders, replacing both a shirt and pants with a single item.

Compared to a combination of pants and a button-down shirt, tribalwear is superior in every category except protection, and even there, it's close:

tribalwear has identical armor values, but less coverage (it doesn't cover the arms and neck)
tribalwear has better insulation from cold (55% vs. 46%)
tribalwear has much better insulation from heat (55% vs. 18%)
tribalwear has both a lower material and work cost (60 textiles/30 work for tribalwear vs. 85 textiles/72 work for the pants + shirt)

A bit of extra neck and arm protection is seen by many players as valuable enough to merit the lower insulation and higher crafting cost of pants and a button-down. However, colonies in extreme biomes may prefer the better insulation, especially when first starting out.

Prisoner Clothing

Tribalwear is ideal for prisoners and non-combat slaves since it offers essential bodily coverage, it's cheap, and it offers less protection than other clothing. This ensures that prisoners can be downed more easily in the event of prison breaks or slave rebellions. As prisoners will often only put on the bare minimum clothing to not be considered naked, the increased insulation over other options also helps prevent issues with extreme temperatures that would otherwise require finagling another insulating item on to the prisoner.

You can force prisoners to wear tribalwear by stripping them before capturing and then ensuring there's a stockpile of tribalwear in their cell/barracks. This is especially important in the mid-game and beyond, when enemies frequently spawn with high-tier equipment that is both dangerous to allow them to keep, and valuable for colony use, smelting or sale.
