One of the most disturbing thing about DF so far is my dwarve's relish for second-hand troll fur loincloth taken from dead goblins.  That is just nasty...

These days it seems that all that I sell the caravans are old clothes and totems...
I'll not disagree, but just remember how often an average dwarf in a 'safe', non-evil line of work takes a bath.

Also, they don't consider clothes "bad" until the clothes are literally rotting off their dwarven bodies...

It's one think taking infrequent baths and wearing very old clothes.  It's another wearing *underwear* you've taken from *enemies you've killed* that happen to be *goblins* and that are made of *troll fur*.  Yeh gods!

aaaanyway...

I never bothered dyeing the clothes I manufacture, is there a point besides increasing value?

Maybe troll fur is super soft...

Much like growing more than plump helmets on your farms, there isn't much point to dyeing clothes in itself, but I like to do it so I can imagine my dwarves wearing colorful clothes rather than being almost exclusively gray and brown (and the mental image of a cave adapted dwarf flipping out and vomiting all over himself because he just realized his shirt has been bright red this whole time)... also, when they eventually discard their old rotting clothes they can be sold for twice as much...

Troll fur is supposed to be quite warm, from what I understand.  Maybe not 'soft' based on the in-game definition of a troll
  'A huge humanoid monster with coarse fur, large tusks and horns.'

  But warm?  Sure.

Ha. I like that.
