The Cotton Headsack is a cloth sack pulled over the whole head. It is an accessory for the Full Head slot. It works as a disguise and gives fair warmth and rain cover.
Its cost is heavy. It cuts the wearer's sight in half and dulls hearing. It is comfortable to wear, unlike the burlap version.
Headsacks turn up in backstage rooms, attics and closets. They can also be cut from a pillow or sewn from cotton fabric or a sheet. The Tailor is the best occupation for accessories. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The headsack keeps the head three quarters warm. It blocks three quarters of the wind and the rain. That suits cold or wet weather.
It stops about one scratch in twenty on the head.
Its biggest drawback is vision. The sack halves how far the wearer can see. Hearing drops by about a sixth. A survivor wearing it notices zombies much later than usual.
The Burlap Headsack gives the same warmth and stops twice as many scratches, but it adds discomfort. The Tarp Headsack keeps out all rain. The Cloth Headwrap (Fully Closed) is a better pick for most days. It is warmer, blocks all wind and leaves sight clear.
The headsack fills the Full Head slot. It clashes with hats, masks, glasses, eye patches, raised hoods and full suits. It rarely falls off when the wearer is hit.
Tailoring
The headsack can get holes when it takes damage.
The Sew Head Sack recipe makes one from a Cotton Fabric Roll or a Sheet and thread. It needs scissors and a sewing needle, both kept, and Tailoring 1. The Cut Head Sack recipe is quicker. It cuts a pillow into a headsack with scissors or a sharp knife. No skill is needed for the cut.
