When is apparel considered tattered?

[BCS]

Just wondering.

[Skeleton]

When its durability is around 20 or 30.

I've always considered it as being below 50%.
Any one piece of gear has to fall below 50% to trigger the tattered debuff.
Keep all of your pawns' gear above 50% and you'll never see the 'tattered' warning.

[Bigfootstoe]

Use the assign tab and edit their assigned clothes so they don't wear anything under 54 percent. (54 just do they don't need to change after 5 mins

[March]

I actually set it to 61%, but that's with a highly prosperous colony. It's probably reasonable to keep it lower in low tech or high difficulty areas.

For purposes of 'default' Thought debuffs, a piece of apparel is considered to be Tattered if it's condition falls below 20%:

This thought occurs when a humanoid is wearing apparel which has health 20% or less.

There are two different debuffs. Tattered is the worse one when clothes are really damaged, there's also a "worn out" debuff that starts at a much higher percent. 20% for tattered and 50% for worn out sound right to me. I tend to not care or pay attention to it early on, then once I get mending (modded) up and running I tell them to only wear things above 61% because a few damaging hits to the pawn can drop durability quite a bit.

I've only provided the quote for Tattered since that was the original question, but I can offer a wiki-proof for your words about worn-out apparel:
