The Shirt - Denim is a long sleeved work shirt made of heavy denim cloth. It covers the whole torso and both arms, from the shoulders down to the wrists. It is one of the most useful everyday shirts in the game.
The thick fabric keeps the body fairly warm and blocks a good share of wind. It also turns away some scratches and a few bites, which most plain shirts cannot do. Wearing it slows nothing down, so it suits any job from looting to fighting.
The shirt shows up in blue, light blue and a faded black. It is a common find on clothing racks in shops and in work lockers. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The shirt takes the Shirt slot. It covers the upper and lower torso, the back, the upper arms and the forearms. Its warmth is enough for cool spring and autumn days. Its wind cover is better than its warmth, so it holds up well on a breezy day. In winter it works best as the bottom layer under a sweater or jacket.
Against zombies it stops about one scratch in seven on the parts it covers. It stops a much smaller share of bites. That is a small edge, but it adds up with a jacket worn on top.
Among shirts for the same slot, it is the strongest all round. The Shirt - Lumberjack is warmer, but it blocks less wind and stops only a few scratches. The Workman Shirt and the Ranger Shirt are both cooler and give less cover from claws.
The shirt costs nothing in speed, comfort, sight or hearing. A Dress or a Long Dress cannot be worn with it.
Tailoring
The shirt is denim, so holes in it are mended with denim patches. Patching it with the Tailoring skill can also add extra bite and scratch protection. Cutting the shirt up with Cut Up Denim/Leather Clothing gives Denim Strips, which are the patch material for other denim clothes. The Research Craft option on the shirt teaches Sew Shirt and Sew Sleeveless Shirt.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Shirt - Denim and teaches the recipes below.
