Analysis
Camelhide is one of many textiles with stats almost identical to plainleather, only diverging in having better heat insulation and slightly higher market value and beauty factor. In this way, it can be considered the heat focused counterpart to Bluefur
As it is 6-way tied for the 11th most protective textile in the game, it is largely irrelevant as protective clothing after the very early game. Yet camelhide's heat insulation is amazing, the second best against heat (in a 3-way tie). So unlike comparably protective textiles, it can retain utility in hot biomes into the mid-game. Later on, devilstrand is as insulative and significantly more protective. Therefore, growing devilstrand should be made a priority in these biomes. If heat isn't an issue, then other leathers should be used whenever possible.
For use in furniture, it only has a slightly improved beauty factor than other common textiles. However, its mid-game redundancy as clothing makes it a decent choice for improving furniture beauty. Yet wools are superior for beauty and reasonably common, limiting the long-term utility of camelhide.
