To all the people who think apocalyptic clothing aesthetic is tight, industrial-feeling, torn, and black, do I have news for you.
In any of the human-on-human apocalypses, yeah, that might be true. But the more popular ones, like zombies, would probably result in any areas with pre-made clothes being dangerous or empty, and in the off chance you DO find something, it is not going to fit perfectly like that unless you or someone you know has the time and the ability to alter clothing.
In most “safe zones” or “bases” in the zombie apocalypse worlds, food production, defense training, and wall building are usually prioritized. However, this overlooks the amount of young kids and injured adults who can’t really do that. They would likely be the people who care to the wounded, and also the ones patching up the holes in the clothes to make them last as long as possible.
My point to this aesthetic is that craft stores are probably not as dangerous or empty, and grabbing yarn an easy stop on the way to get the wood glue, spray paint, and decorative icing I’d imagine people could use. With the rise in popularity of the fiber arts, there’s a higher chance of SOMEONE in this base knowing how to crochet or knit to create new clothing that keeps warm and actually fits.
So rather than an industrial look, I submit there’s a HUGE lack of crochet/knit apocalyptic fits. Additionally, since zombies are usually able to track through smell or hearing and not sight, and the amount of black yarn is probably limited, I submit that these fits could be pink, or lime green, or orange, and nobody would complain because they have some damn clothes and this isn’t a fashion show.
That is all.
Thank you for your time.
