I've been doing some testing with clothing temperatures, and this is the data I have come up with:


All custom shirts had the following specifications: hip-length shirt, skin-tight fit, fitted sleeves


"Hot" room (Filigree smithy)


Normal Cotton - some warmth

Thin Cotton - no effect

Thick Cotton - some warmth

Normal Linen - no effect

Normal Fur - some warmth

Normal Rubber - quite a lot of warmth


Black Silk Shirt (from npc thief) - some warmth

White Linen Shirt (from npc in Djb) - some cooling


"Warm" room (Nicolette's room)


Normal Cotton - some warmth

Thin Cotton - some warmth

Thick Cotton - some warmth

Normal Linen - some warmth

Normal Fur - some warmth

Normal Rubber - quite a lot of warmth


Black Silk Shirt (from npc thief) - some warmth

White Linen Shirt (from npc in Djb) - some cooling


"Cold" room (Butcher's guild freezer, "freezing cold")


Normal Cotton - some warmth

Thin Cotton - some warmth

Thick Cotton - some warmth

Normal Linen - some warmth

Normal Fur - some warmth

Normal Rubber - quite a lot of warmth


Black Silk Shirt (from npc thief) - some warmth

White Linen Shirt (from npc in Djb) - some cooling


According to Turvity, the "temp" command is supposed to list items from least amount of warmth to greatest amount of warmth. No information was provided about what happens in the case of a tie. I used the commands "temp item shirts" and "temp item shirt 1, shirt 2, shirt 3, etc" to see how the shirts would sort themselves under various conditions. Under all three temperatures tested, changing the order of the shirts in the "temp" command would cause the "some warmth" shirts to rearrange themselves. This leads me to believe that, in the case of a tie, the order the items are entered into the parser has some effect on the output of the temp command.
