Clothes are one type of Apparel. For general properties, see there.

Clothing Values

Clothes are made from Fabric and Leathers. While it varies heavily based on the material, clothing offers rather little protection from violence, but very good Insulation values.

Material

Picking the right material for any piece of clothing is far from arbitrary and the default setting will just have nearly all materials checked. The algorithm by which the crafter picks the material to use is unknown.

Farbrics

Cloth is the most accessible material when wildlife is scarce. It can also be easily farmed from Cotton Plants or cheaply bought. It is used as baseline material in Crafting Bill Hints.

Advanced Fabrics tend to have way better armor values and at least comparable thermal resistance values, meaning they can easily replace cloth in every application but are harder to come by.

Wools

Wool is technically just a subtype of Fabric. Can only be aquired from Domesticated Animals, and have high Thermal Multipliers. It offers very weak protection and is highly flamable. Care must be taken to not mix up the Wool and Leather from an animal, as those have very different values.

Leathers and Skins

Leathers offer pretty good defense and are easy to acquire in most biomes as a sub product of hunting. Leather are defined by the type of animal they were taken from. While they generally provide good armor, their thermal resistance tend to be all over the place - way below and way above cloth. They always have a high Flame and Blunt damage resistance, with low Flamability.

Headgear Table

Unlike other clothing, Headgear is made alsmost exclusively from Fabric.

Common Combinations

On Skin Layer

This layer is dominated by two options: Tribalwear or Shirt + Pants

Tribalwear offers the best thermal insulation. Meanwhile, Shirt+Pants in turn has better armor values and coverage. The T-Shirt is a inferior version of the button down shirt, and should be avoided unless it's reduced material cost or reduced coverage is helpful.

Middle

The middle layer is not used by any clothing. It is primarily the realm of Armors, wich use it to lock out agaisnt another.

Shell

The Shell layer is primarily for armors and specialized protection clothing.

The Parka is the perfect option for Cold Resistance, as it outright doubles the material values. Accordingly it should propably 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. It also can be combined with Shirt, Flak Pants, and Flak Vest.

The Jacket is a very common item. Crashlanded survivors start with one. It is a good balance between Protection and Insulation and even combines with Flak Armor. But for heavier armor it must be replaced like all other outer shell clothing.
