Is there a way to automagically have dwarves haul it to a dump or refuse pile? I recall there was an issue a while ago where worn-out clothing would never be picked up unless specified for dumping due to it being owned by someone; Used to just use DFHack but that's not available for steam.

Yeah, I'm struggling to find any analog of Orders[/i] in the Steam version, which is what I would use to control clothing refresh.
There seem to be several interface concepts like this that have been deprecated in the name of simplifying the GUI, but end up making for a LOT more micromanagement on behalf of the player.

Hey, for anyone else dealing with the clothes without DFHack being updated yet...
I can't recall where I read it, but if you forbid the clothing for a little while it will eventually lose it's owner and can then be dumped. This works and it takes at least a few in-game days.

Are old clothes the ones with an x in front of the name? Will the dwarves ever take them off or do they only take them off when they have a replacement? A lot of my dwarves are still wearing old clothing.

I've found that if you designate the owned clothing for dumping, it works the same way, losing its ownwe after a few days.You don't have to first forbid and then dump.

Might as well use that oppurtunity and sell those old clothes to the Dwarven trader or give them to them for free once they have no mroe ownership.

From x to xx, xX and XX depending on how far its worn out. A single x aint to bad for wear yet...

Yes. The 'x' indicates that it's worn out. Dorfs don't like wearing worn out clothing and armor.

Yea, I think you're right. I did notice that they were eventually being dumped but i assumed it was the owner doing the dumping.

This is true, but my current world situation is slightly fucked. My civilization was wiped out after everyone went to war with us over a copper goblet.

Do they replace the clothing automatically when you make replacements? I having a problem right now with dwarves becoming increasingly unhappy. Trying to figure out why.

Yes! And if they have a room they will go store their old clothing there, otherwise they just drop it where they changed clothes. They will still "own" old clothes though, which is the problem. An object that is "owned" can't be dumped.
