Bad news, they
FAQ'd it to oblivion:
quote:
The effects are illusion (glamer) like the glamered weapon and armor properties. This means they can’t be disbelieved like a figment could, but they do not actually physically change the clothes. The transformation changes only the appearance, including the feel, smell, and other sensory aspects.
This means that not only can you not make it swarmsuit but you also can't get any mechanical benefits like cold weather outfits actually protecting you from the cold.
In that thread though one of the players had a slick idea which is you wear the swarmsuit, then put the Sleeves on to transform it into normal clothing. Then if you encounter a swarm you just remove the sleeves and you're suited up ready to go. That I will allow.
Otherwise I'll allow a full refund of the item. Some adventurer not aware of the FAQ will offer to buy it from you en route at full price :P
