The Denim Bandeau is a simple strip top stitched together from Denim Strips. It is worn in the T-Shirt slot and covers only the chest. It is a quick piece of handmade clothing for a survivor who has denim scraps and little else.
Its main strength is how easy it is to make. It needs no Tailoring skill, only strips, thread and a needle. Its main cost is that it does little for warmth, so it suits summer days or a layer under a jacket.
The bandeau is never found in the world. It comes only from the Sew Improvised Bandeau recipe. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The bandeau sits in the T-Shirt slot and covers the upper torso. It adds no real warmth or wind cover, so it is a hot-weather piece.
The denim stops about one scratch in ten on the chest. That is twice the guard of a Rag Bandeau, which stops one in twenty. A Hide Bandeau gives the same scratch guard and adds real warmth, so it is the better pick once a hide is at hand.
It costs nothing in speed, comfort, sight or hearing. It takes the T-Shirt slot, so a regular T-shirt cannot be worn with it. A shirt, a jacket and a vest can all go on top.
Tailoring
The bandeau is denim, so it takes denim patches when it is repaired. The Cut Up Denim/Leather Clothing recipe turns it back into Denim Strips.
Researching it with Research Craft teaches the Sew Sleeveless Shirt recipe.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Denim Bandeau and teaches the recipes below.

Locations
The Denim Bandeau only comes from crafting. The Sew Improvised Bandeau recipe takes four Denim Strips, two lengths of thread or twine, and a sewing needle or an awl. No skill level is needed. Using rags, burlap or leather strips instead makes the matching bandeau of that material.
Notes
- Cutting it up returns Denim Strips, so the material is never lost.
- Researching it teaches the Sew Sleeveless Shirt recipe.
- Denim gives twice the scratch guard of rags in the same recipe.
- It needs no Tailoring level, so it is a good first sewing project.
