Military Shorts - Desert Camo are long cotton army shorts in a desert camouflage print. They cover the groin and the thighs, ending above the knee. They are summer wear with a surprising amount of warmth for shorts.
Their main strength is comfort in hot weather, with fair cover from wind and rain on the upper legs. Their main cost is short reach, since the cover stops at the thighs.
The shorts come in many looks with the same stats. Besides Desert Camo, there are Foreign Camo, Green Camo, Olive Drab, Tiger Stripe Camo and Urban Camo versions. They are a very common find in camping stores, hunting lodges, army surplus stores and pawn shops. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
On the groin and thighs, the shorts give moderate warmth. They block some wind and keep out a share of rain. With the cover ending at the thighs, they suit summer and warm spring days best.
The shorts are made for comfort rather than for fighting. Long pants or leg armour are the usual answer to bites on the legs.
On the parts they cover, they are slightly warmer than Military Pants - Green Camo. Those pants also cover the shins and stop a share of bites and scratches. Military Pants - Desert Camo are less warm on the thighs but cover the whole leg.
The shorts fill the Shorts slot. They cannot be worn with pants, skirts, dresses, short shorts, a boilersuit or a full suit.
Tailoring
The shorts are cotton. The Rip Clothing recipe turns them into a Rag, and any character can do that by hand. Research Craft on the shorts teaches Sew Pants, the recipe for sewing new trousers.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Military Shorts - Desert Camo and teaches the recipes below.

Notes
- All six camo looks share the same stats, so any of them does the same job.
- The shorts pair well with shin armour for a cool summer outfit with leg cover.
- Research Craft on them is a cheap way to learn Sew Pants.
- A worn-out pair still gives a Rag when it is ripped.
