What affects the wear rate of clothing items

dwarf-fortress

Do we know anything about differential wear rates between clothing items?

  1. Does material affect wear rate? (Leather, cloth, silk, yarn, adamantine; do they wear out at different speeds?)
  2. Does quality affect wear rate? (Does a masterwork item last longer than an ordinary one?)
  3. Do different clothing types wear at different rates?
  4. Does decoration have any effect on wear?

I've been playing DF for probably five years now. I'll tell you what I know.

  1. From my experence (I may be wrong), adamantine definitely seems to last longer then leather but it does happen.

  2. I don't think quality affects wear rate.

  3. No.

  4. Yes, Mr Asmel Oceanworked can love cat bones. So if you give him a shirt with cat bones I think he goes head over heels with joy.
