{{Info|The '''electric tailor bench''' is used by [[Work#Tailor|tailors]] to produce [[clothing]]. It is a [[power]]ed version of the [[hand tailor bench]].

== Acquisition ==
It is built with {{Required Resources}} in {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} after the research [[Research#Electricity|Electricity]] and Complex Clothing has been completed.

==Summary==
{{See also|Hand tailor bench}}
[[File:UnfinishedApparel.png|right|thumb|Unfinished piece of clothing]]

Electric tailor benches allow you to create [[apparel]] items from [[textile]]s, which counts as [[Work#Tailor|Tailoring]] work. The quality of apparel is determined by [[Crafting]] skill. 

If a job is interrupted for any reason, the tailor will drop the piece, usually on the workbench, and it will be in an unfinished state until they finish it. A pawn cannot work on another pawn's clothing. The piece will indicate the name of the tailor and how much work is remaining. The stockpile filter includes an entry for unfinished items which allows the player to control where they are stored. It can connect to up to 2 [[tool cabinet]]s to increase work speed.

When powered, an electric tailor bench has a [[Property:Work Speed Factor|Work Speed Factor]] of 100%, meaning all the bills take the listed amount of time to complete. When unpowered, Work Speed Factor is reduced to 50%, half speed, the same as a [[hand tailor bench]].

==Analysis==
A hand tailor bench or electric tailor bench are the only ways for a colony to create its own clothing. The electric tailor bench is twice as fast when powered, and only costs {{icon small|steel}} 50 [[steel]] and {{icon small|component}} 2 [[component]]s more, which usually makes it better. Clothing helps prevent nudity, and any colonist can receive a slight amount of protection from quality [[button-down shirt]]s and [[pants]]. In the mid-game / late-game, [[devilstrand]] [[duster]]s are a strong option for protective gear, since they can be worn with a [[flak vest]].

An effective tool for ensuring that only quality garments from a tailoring bench are retained is to set your colonists to only wear clothes above a certain quality level using the 'Assign' tab. This way, you can ensure they only wear the best clothes, and you can leave the inferior quality clothes to sell.
