Valuable hides make more valuable fur clothes

[Sami]

Currently character made fur clothes have a pretty much generic bulk price modified only by the overall quality, but now we'll add price increase for fur clothes made of valuable hides.
In the upcoming version, if fur clothing is made from valuable hides, this will be reflected as an increase in the item's price. Even using common but high-quality winter furs can significantly increase the price of finished fur clothing, especially if the overall quality is good. Although valuable hides are most often best traded as they are, the efforts of a talented clothcrafter producing fur clothes out of rare and valuable furs are now properly recognized in the bargain.

These are future features - not yet functional in current version 3.87

I have three questions:

1: Will clothing from luxury furs be more useful. I can kinda undertsand the concept of bear fur being more protective than squirrel fur (it's thicker for one). But at the same time if you make 13.5lb fur coat from squirrel fur then it's logically just as thick as 13.5lb coat from bear fur, implication being that the squirrel fur coat is made of multiple layers of fur. In other words, will stats of luxury furs be brought closer to furs from large game or will the clothing from luxury furs be made lighter to balance out the thinner hide/worse stats?

2: Will winter fur clothing be warmer?

3: Will foregin traders accept fur clothing in trades? I belive at present they only refuse to sell it if they spawn with some, but they won't buy it.

The change is only in their price, no other factors involved.
The weight based material consumption we've got in use is complicated in many ways, but for now it is what it is.

2: Will winter fur clothing be warmer?

Not yet, but this is likely to be added somewhere in the near future.

No. Foreign traders still only want furs, whole furs, and nothing but the furs.
