Basic Requirements
Equipment
The below equipment are required to start tailoring.
- 1 Needle
- 1 unit of Thread
- 1 pair of Scissors is required to obtain Denim Strips and Leather Strips from ripping clothes made with denim or leather.
Suture Needle can not be used for Tailoring.
Fabrics
There are 3 types of fabrics currently in Project Zomboid. They are all obtainable through ripping clothes.
Icon | Item | Fabric Type | Base defense (Scratch/Bite/Bullet) | Rarity of clothing with this fabric |
---|---|---|---|---|
Ripped Sheets | Cotton | - / +1% / - | Very common | |
Denim Strips | Denim | +1% / +1% / +1% | Common | |
Leather Strips | Leather | +1% / +2% / +1% | Uncommon |
Tailoring
To start tailoring, right-click a clothing and right-click Inspect to display the condition of the clothing. Holes can be patched and paddings can be added by right-clicking the corresponding body part.
- Some items like shoes and bulletproof vests cannot be repaired.
- Adding a padding can increase the defence of a clothing item.
- Simply patching a hole will not fully restore its condition.
- Adding denim or leather padding gives more tailoring exp than adding ripped sheet paddings.
Tailoring Level
To maximize XP gain, you should read the Tailoring books first.
- Tailoring for Beginners (Levels 1-2)
- Tailoring for Intermediate (Levels 3-4)
- Advanced Tailoring (Levels 5-6)
- Expert Tailoring (Levels 7-8)
- Master Tailoring (Levels 9-10)
Getting XP is quite easy. To get XP, you have to:
- Rip clothes and must get a thread
- Add padding or patch any holes of a clothing item
- If you want to train Tailoring by doing this, it's better to use Ripped Sheets instead to not waste the stronger fabrics. They are also very common, making them perfect for training.
Benefits
The player is provided with some benefits as they increase their Tailoring skill level:
- Leather strips provide the most defense.
Icon | Item | Level 0 Bite/Scratch/Bullet (Defence) | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Ripped Sheets | 1% | 1% | 1% | 1% | 2% | 2% | 3% | 3% | 4% | 4% | 5% | |
Denim Strips | 1%/1%/1% | 1%/1%/1% | 1%/2%/1% | 2%/3%/2% | 2%/4%/2% | 2%/5%/2% | 3%/6%/3% | 3%/7%/3% | 4%/8%/4% | 4%/9%/4% | 5%/10%/5% | |
Leather Strips | 1%/2%/1% | 1%/2%/1% | 2%/4%/2% | 3%/6%/3% | 4%/8%/4% | 5%/10%/5% | 6%/12%/6% | 7%/14%/7% | 8%/16%/8% | 9%/18%/9% | 10%/20%/10% |
- The chances of getting thread from ripped clothes will also increase as the player levels up their Tailoring skill.
- At level 8 Tailoring, you will be able to repair holes completely with the right kind of fabric, restoring the clothes' original defense, condition and insulation. However, clothing items that can't be repaired like Firefighter Pants or Military Boots will still not be repairable.
