Shorts are a pair of short cotton shorts with a formal cut. They cover the hips and the thighs. They are light summer wear, chosen for comfort in the heat.
They add a little warmth and block a small share of wind. Their real worth in a long game is the cloth they hold and the sewing recipe they teach. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The shorts take the Short Shorts slot and cover the groin and the thighs. The knees and shins stay bare. They suit hot weather and are too light for cold days.
Their warmth matches the Shorts - Sport, and they block a little more wind. The Shorts - Denim are twice as warm and stop some bites and scratches on the thighs. The Boxing Shorts are slightly cooler.
Against zombies the shorts rely on other layers. Wearing them costs nothing in speed, comfort, sight or hearing. They cannot be worn together with pants, other shorts, skinny pants, skirts, long skirts, dresses, long dresses, boilersuits or full suits.
Tailoring
The shorts are cotton, so holes in them are mended with cotton patches. Ripping them with Rip Clothing gives Rags. The Research Craft option on the shorts teaches Sew Pants.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies Shorts and teaches the recipes below.
