Shorts - Denim are a pair of short denim shorts, the kind made by cutting off a pair of jeans. They cover the hips and the thighs. They are summer wear with a little more toughness than cotton shorts.
The thick denim keeps the thighs fairly warm for such a short piece. It also stops some scratches and a few bites. That makes them the sturdiest pair for their slot.
They come in a few washes, including a plain denim, a dark and a black. They turn up in bedroom wardrobes and dressers. A pair of Long Shorts - Denim can also be cut down into them with scissors. 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. Their warmth suits warm and mild days. Cold weather calls for long pants.
They stop about one scratch in five and one bite in ten on the thighs. The cotton Shorts and the Shorts - Sport are only half as warm. The Long Shorts - Denim cover more of the leg and are warmer still.
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 denim, so holes in them are mended with denim patches. Cutting them up with Cut Up Denim/Leather Clothing gives Denim Strips. The Research Craft option on the shorts teaches Sew Pants.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Shorts - Denim and teaches the recipes below.
