Long Johns are a one-piece cotton undergarment that covers the body from the arms down to the ankles. They are thermal underwear worn under ordinary clothes. They add a warm base layer for cold weather.
Their strength is that they add warmth to almost the whole body without taking an outer slot. Shirts, pants and jackets all go on top. Their cost is modest warmth on their own. They are easy to find in clothing and department storage, pawn shops, army surplus stores and closets. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
Long Johns keep a modest amount of heat in and block a little wind. They cover the torso, back, arms, groin, thighs and shins. Under a full outfit they help a lot in autumn and winter. Against zombies they are a base layer rather than armour.
Long Johns Bottoms give the same warmth on the legs alone. The crafted cotton and burlap Long Johns match them, and the burlap version also catches one scratch in twenty. Legwarmers are warmer on the shins but cover nothing else.
They take the long underwear slot. That means they cannot be worn with Long Johns Bottoms or Legwarmers. They are comfortable and leave running and fighting speed as they are.
Tailoring
Long Johns are cotton, so cotton patches repair holes in them. Ripping them gives a Rag.
Research Craft on them teaches two recipes. They are Sew Long Johns and Sew Long Johns Bottom.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies Long Johns and teaches the recipes below.
