The Tarp Bandeau is a strip of tarp wrapped around the chest and fixed with duct tape. It is crafted clothing worn as a top layer next to the skin. It sits in the T-shirt slot and covers the upper torso.
Its main strength is that it keeps rain off the chest completely. It also gives fair warmth and turns away a few scratches. Its main cost is some discomfort, since tarp is stiff to wear. It takes only one Tarp Piece and one Duct Tape to make. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The bandeau keeps the upper torso fairly warm and blocks some wind. It sheds all rain on the chest. It turns away about one scratch in ten on the part it covers. That makes it a useful wet weather layer under other clothes.
The Garbage Bag Bandeau gives the same warmth and rain cover but stops only half as many scratches. The Hide Bandeau gives the same warmth and scratch cover and keeps out some rain. The plain T-shirt is less warm but covers more of the body.
The bandeau is somewhat uncomfortable to wear. It fills the T-shirt slot, so a shirt, sweater and jacket can all go on top.
Tailoring
The Research Craft option on the bandeau teaches Sew Sleeveless Shirt. That gives a cheap way into a basic sewing recipe.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Tarp Bandeau and teaches the recipes below.
