Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

Robeskins were a common form of clothing among the Yuuzhan Vong. While providing little protection, they were the most common form of clothing among the Worker caste, the Shamed Ones, and Familiars. They essentially appeared to be a thick, jelly-like cloth. They could be ripped into shreds but would continue to grow, which allowed other items of clothing to be woven from them. Robeskins fed on the sweat and oils released by the wearer; and could also help the healing process if their wearer was injured by feeding on necrotic flesh and pathogens. Jacen Solo loved the Robeskin Vergere had packed for him as it was self cleaning. Solo even made himself some makeshift socks from the skin that never wore out.
