 A large sheet tied into a crude, over-the-shoulder sling. 

This is a light clothing item made of cotton, which covers 40% of your torso, and which has low storage capacity. It is very bulky, is extremely cumbersome, and will keep the areas it covers barely warm.

It offers very low protection against bashing attacks and very low protection against cutting ones (that includes bullets), while offering no protection from environmental hazards.

It this item can be strapped onto you.

This clothing item can be repaired, fitted (if appropriate) and reinforced via the tailoring skill, by using a sewing kit or bone needle and rags.


Notes

A useful beginning of game storage item, a makeshift sling gives a decent amount of storage space but at the cost of 40 encumbrance. You will want to try to replace this bag with a less encumbering backpack or a larger military rucksack as soon as possible.

One of the fastest ways to make a sling is by tearing down the curtains from a window and using the sheet it gives you.
