Description:
Find the Perfect Fit!

Adds clothing sizes to Project Zomboid for a deeper and more realistic looting experience.
High tailoring skill lets you adjust clothes to your own body size.

1. Size System

Clothing now comes in 6 sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL.
Each size corresponds to a weight class: Emaciated, Very Underweight, Underweight, Normal, Overweight, Obese.
Not all clothing have size, but if you find an item that should have size but doesn’t, comment below and I’ll consider it.
Your current size appears on the Character screen, next to your weight.

Size distribution:

Size

S
10
M
25
L
35
XL
15
XXL
10

Penalties for ill-fitting clothing:

  • Tight clothes take longer to wear and might be impossible to equip.
  • Tight clothes cause muscle soreness and slow post-exercise recovery.
  • Tight clothes have a higher chance of tearing when climbing fences or windows.
  • Tight pants and skirts cause stiffness in legs while running and sprinting
  • Loose clothes reduce insulation and combat speed.
  • Loose clothes increases the chance that you can trip after climbing fences
  • Loose pants/skirts may fall off if not secured with a belt.

2. Check Size

You can inspect clothes to see their size.
With low tailoring skill, you get a rough estimate: tight, loose, or perfect fit.
With high tailoring skill, you see the exact size.
Successful checks reward a small amount of tailoring XP.

3. Resize Clothes

With enough tailoring skill, you can resize clothes up or down by 1 size.
Requires proper tools and materials.

Resize result:

  • Failure: clothing may lose condition.
  • Success: clothing may gain a bit of condition.
  • Success always grants tailoring XP.

4. Condition Decreases Over Time

Clothing will slowly lose condition over time.
Wet, dirty and bloody clothes will degrade faster.
Clothes with high wind resistance and water resistance can last longer.
Higher maintenance and tailoring help reduce the degrading rate.
You can increase condition by reconditioning them, similar to repairing weapons.
Some clothes can be reconditioned using just strips, for others, you will need a spare one.

Reconditioning mechanics:

  • Success chance and durability restored increase with Tailoring and Maintenance levels.
  • Failure can reduce condition.
  • Each recondition attempt lowers future success rate and amount restored.

Notes
