Clothes at New Albion are what you might
expect to see in early summer in the UK.
00:42
With no need to protect against the cold,
00:45
nor against unexpected rain showers,
clothes are lightweight.
00:50
Most clothing is made from natural materials
grown in conservation and farming compartments.
00:56
Clothes made from synthetic materials are
00:59
rare due to demand for those materials in
more critical applications.
01:05
Short trousers are more common than long,
while vests and tee shirts are equally common.
01:12
Skirts and frocks are less common at
New Albion due to the greater
01:17
likelihood of 'Marilyn Monroe moment'.
01:21
Shoes are also lightweight -
01:24
the low gravity of Mars means feet need
less protection than on Earth.
01:29
Flip-flops and plimsolls of
canvas and rubber are most common,
01:33
but leather sandals and shoes can be found.
01:37
Keep your eyes peeled and
you may even see a roadman jacket!
