Best clothes to sell?

[Evo]

So I have a really good talior and alot of cloth (including 1100 devilstrand) so I was wondering what would be the best piece of cloth to sell, I was assuming it would be a parka or duster but I would like your guys opionion. I was also wondering if devilstrand is the best cloth material?

dusters are good for selling and wearing

devistrand is great for selling second hand clothes
they are some of the best clothes for your colonists because of its armor value but they arnt very good for wear and tear causing them to degrade rather quickly
(they also dont have the best insulating value if you need that, altho still pretty good)
getting them to 51% quickly
but even in that state they will be very valuable to sell
often being worth almost 1000 silver when the quality isnt bad
only clothes that sell for more is power armor
so those will give a good profit just in selling the stuff you dont need anymore

i never build my colony into sweatshops sinse most of trader silver for clothes will already be spent on raider clothes so i dont know if its better to sell pants or shirts

ok thanks, what about hyperweave though?

no way to make it
its amazing for armor but you cant get a steady supply so not really worth mentioning

my favorite setup is buttondown and pants in devilstrand with a wool duster any type of wool. this gives really good armor and amazing thermal protection from heat and good from cold to

if you want to make some good money off devilstrand, make chairs out of it and stockpile the good or better ones. deconstruct the lesser ones and try again.

Bulk traders buy furniture in my experience. Caravans may or may not have the money to move a lot of devilstrand furniture, but trade ships should.

thanks for the info
again im not the most informed about traders, i mostly just sell the junk left by raiders and its been enough to give me a 20x20 rec room with silver flooring so i dont really bother optimizing trade

I just sold this stuff to an exotic goods ship.

2x Devilstrand (superior) for $1200

1x Devilstrand (excellent) for $1650

Also if you ever find a depost of plasteel there worth alot and very abundent in the ground so I just mine them and sell 1 of them for 11$ (you get 75 plasteel for each 'lump' at the drill btw)

[Ashardalon]

you got lucky if you found lots of plasteel in the ground
keep some for yourself so you can make powerarmor and turrets out of them
even deadfall traps are better from plasteel sinse its the best material for cutting weapons (tho i still prefer stone deadfalltraps for safety reasons, accidents happen and stone cant decapitate with one hit)
