Clothing is material made out of cloth or leather which is worn by sentient humanoid creatures to protect them from the elements. Articles of clothing are similar in concept to armor and distinguished only by the fact that they do not provide significant protection against melee attacks; clothing is intended for comfort, not combat.
Humans, dwarves, and elves do not distinguish between articles of clothing with regards to gender, so it is common to see females wearing tunics and trousers and males wearing dresses.v0.27.169.33a One could call Dwarf Fortress a paragon of gender equality.

Pairs
Some articles of clothing or armor, when made at a clothier's shop, leather works or craftdwarf's workshop, will produce pairs. Specifically, all handwear and footwear will be produced in pairs: each job tasked at such a workshop will always make two out of a single piece of cloth or leather, one for each limb. Greaves also come in pairs but are not made from one piece.
Layering of clothing
Clothing in the game has four layers: under, over, armor, and cover. Each article of clothing is intended for only one of these purposes.
- Clothing identified as under is intended to be worn directly against the skin.
- Clothing specified as over is a thin covering to be worn over top of under wear.
- Clothing classified for armor is intended to be worn over top of clothing to protect the person more generally.
- Clothing categorised as cover is worn over top of everything, including armour, usually for insulation against cold climates.
| Type | Under | Over | Armor | Cover |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bodywear | Shirt, Dress, Tunic | Coat, Toga, Vest, Robe | Plate mail, Chain mail | Cloak, Cape |
| Legwear | Loincloth, Thong, Braies | Pants, Skirt, Short skirt, Long skirt | Greaves, Leggings | |
| Handwear | Gloves | Gauntlets | Mittens | |
| Headwear | Mask, Face veil | Cap, Turban, Head veil, Headscarf | Helm | Hood |
| Footwear | Chausses, Socks | Shoes, High boots, Low boots, Sandals |
