one fun thing about being a dwarf fortress fan and a textile hobbyist is that i get to needlessly overthink my dwarves' decisions when it comes to making cloth/fabric and clothes. especially when its early days and theres only a few fabric sources. fortress full of dwarves who only own alpacas and have no access to plant fibres. just 100% alpaca. no structure. no breathability. only drape. they go to battle aboveground in the summer and die of heatstroke before the goblins can even reach them.
