This is a finely-crafted groundhog leather high boot.  It is decorated with well-crafted dog bone and encircled with bands of rhesus macaque bone, exceptionally worked goblin bone and well-crafted salmon bone.  This object menaces with spikes of finely-crafted turtle bone and finely-crafted horse bone.

(Oh, and it is covered in blood as well).

Yeah, they all pretty much end up like that after long enough.

Wait even longer and their clothes all rot off.

... And they will still wear them under the new, shiny and clean same type of cloth...

I can't wait for the diseases to be implemented :)

There is a good reason that I never manufacture new clothes.

The dwarves will just throw their old ones off in the hallways and put on new ones, which will proceed to rot away like their old ones. It's best to let the original clothes dissolve away into nothing and leave the little blighters running about nude as a hippy child.

My champions are all wearing nothing except their platemail. I feel sorry for them at times, I imagine the joints of that armor can give a fairly good pinch.

i actually go out of my way to make new clothes for my dwarves every couple years. why? because i feel bad for them AND I feel that it's sort of a responsibility of mine seeing as my fort is usually the nexus of wealth in the world.

Toady really needs to make them abandon their old clothes or make the player be able to do something about them. Getting your workshop cluttered with them is frustrating. Even worse if they drop it in the stockpile, can't even set it on fire with Tweak

I agree - it would be nice if they actually stored their clothes more often, like they're supposed to. The nobles do it sometimes but I rarely see any other dwarves (especially military) do it.

So there's that, as well. It looks like the only chronic problems that water can't cure are nausea and cave spider bites.
Which, coincidentally enough, can be cured by magma.

I can't see why dwarves wouldn't wear five layers of cloaks and socks, theres very little central heating and water moisture in the air cools down quickly and makes it very cold.

Unless, of course, you've constructed a magma central heating device. It takes an exeptionaly dwarfy engineer to make every hallway release magma mist to keep everyone warm and keep a 4/7 constant layer of water to put out the fires.

I usually remember my wrestlers putting away their cloths when I gave them a cabinent, or when another dwarf ripped off their +large rat leather trousers+

I don't make clothing for two reasons:

1. I can't really be bothered producing cloth, which limits what i can make.

2. I can't be bothered dealing with making 130 full sets of clothing when each set needs 9 seperate parts to it.

Only in Dwarf Fortress would you try to catch a mermaid to butcher her and make trophies out of her bones

Making clothes for naked dwarves is also not worth it as they choose their clothes haphazardly and won't put on a full set. They'll wind up having no shirt but three socks on one foot even if you have a wide selection of clothes for their whole body.

The manager should make 2. much easier. Will be a while before I get clothing up in the current fort, however as there's been an ambush every season ever since the first elven caravan (Currently late autumn of year two).

Dwarf fortress needs uniforms, you should just be able to make cloths in sets or something...

You know what would be awesome, then? Make a single lever which, by throwing it, seals off floodgates sealing every single room in the fortress of value, and engages power to a series of pumps which flush the hallways out with magma and drain it into a chasm (or outside to "evaporate" away).

The rooms would still stay cluttered, of course, but you'd keep your hallways clean, sterile, and heated.

If anyone is in the halls when the lever is pulled, well... they didn't pay attention to the drills.
