that random survivor Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Simply a place for ideas of new clothing I guess. I made it mostly because I had a idea. A new head worn item. It can be made by picking up towels off of places like bathroom floors, or in other places it would make sense: the towels would be VERY rare, but would have a pay off. It is used to do a few things. 1 it can be used as fuel for a fire, or can be used to creat a towel wrap. It’s a full head worn item, and is literally just a towel wrapped around the head. It has a thick roll around the neck, and a thick folded cover over the face, and a thin end going over the head. It would provide substantial warmth benefits when new, like 3.0 to 3.5 temp benefit, and decent wind resistance, but gets wet and thus frozen quickly, since, you know, it’s a towel. The towel can also be used as a alternative to make a torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odizzido Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Next winter I will check how warm a towel is. I doubt it's very warm really compared to one of the hats I have laying around. But I've never tried it so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that random survivor Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 Lol, haven’t either. Something about how fuzzy it is, and the fact of it being a tightly knit basically blanket to me sounds like it would do good keeping in heat and everything. Aswell as if you ever fold one up a few times and put it around your neck or something, or even make a head covering out of one (I have before while bored and drying off) it does actually get kinda warm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicManiac Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) 14 hours ago, that random survivor said: A new head worn item.

All we'd have to do is break down some towels and craft them. Edited July 27, 2020 by ManicManiac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odizzido Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Something I can do is wrap ice packs in a towel. Which I did last night. With like 5-6 layers it's pretty effective, though I am not sure how well it would hold up to wind......yet Plus I don't know how it compares to a jacket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UTC-10 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I would not mind seeing a few more pieces of deerskin clothing, so one can craft a rather complete ensemble of deerskin-based clothing. A buckskin shirt for one. One layer so its like a thin wool sweater. Add another layer with some rabbit skins to make it more like a thick wool sweater. Add in even more rabbit skin padding, maybe even another deer skin, to turn it from a heavier shirt into a jacket which would be more equivalent to a simple parka. It would be nice but still a lot of work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunnysk Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Yeah. The towel can also be used as a alternative to make a torch. I use many astro merch clothes. It looks different here, fashionable and decent in short looks attractive. You also work on same these clothes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
