How do you Handle Clothing and Footware?

[Admin Pete]

How do you handle clothing and footware in your campaign? Do you go into any detail or is it glossed over. Do you use descriptions to convey social status or rank to the players of the NPCs that they encounter?

I keep this entirely within the abstraction of "upkeep."

I exact 10% (not 1%) upkeep based upon each new accrual of XP.

I figure that covers getting boots resouled.

Not very detailed. A simple description of the clothes to help viualization will do it for me. Upon the return to civilization after a few months in the wild I might tell the players their PC's are dressed in rags covered with blood, mould and dirt. Then it's their choice if they want to spend any of their hard earned dungeon loot on new clothes...
