Inner/Outer Clothing Slots.

[Aagje]

Would it be possible to standardize which are the "inner" and "outer" clothing slots for head, torso, legs, and socks?

As it stands, the left slot is "inner" for everything except torso, where it's the "outer" slot -- which can get a little confusing, and isn't really explained anywhere (that I've seen).

As a recommendation, I'd make the left slot the outer one for torso and head, and the right slot the outer for legs and socks -- since, well, they're further away from your character portrait. Or make it consistently either left or right.

(I totally did not just realize I've been wearing my military coat inside my mackinaw all this time... Although a moose-hide cloak inside an urban parka would be even more amusingly boneheaded.)

I thought that is was which ever is farthest from the illustration of your survivor is the outer layer, so left for coats and shirts, and right for pants and long johns.

Except aren't the hats reversed?

Given the confusion and uncertainty, some better explanations on the clothing screen might be in order, especially since it REALLY MATTERS which slot things are in, but you'd never know that just playing the game.

Yes, the hats are reversed.  They were apparently a casualty of some sloppy rearranging of the paper doll during the resolute outfitter update (they were originally on the right side).

The tooltips about what is an inner or outer layer don't help anything, ignoring them is easier than trying to make sense of them.  The entire screen (and related mechanics) could be cleaned up.

Or, if they could just label the slots!

Now that's just crazy talk.

I've noticed that one can only wear the Balaclava "under" a toque or scarf - i.e. only in the left head slot. (Corollary - One can never wear two Balaclavas. Makes sense - but still, alas!)

Are there other clothing items that can only be worn in the left/right slot (for a given part of the body)? One would think there should be.

I could be incorrect, but I believe the only other articles which are restricted in this way are the down vest and sport vest, which can only be worn in the inner slot of the inner torso (right slot).
