you all ready have it in there for displaying it:

		public override void GetProperties( ObjectPropertyList list )
		{
			base.GetProperties( list );
			
			if ( Lifespan > 0 )
				list.Add( 1072517, m_Lifespan.ToString() ); // Lifespan: ~1_val~ seconds
		}

but from what i see in there - it will not be wearable, because it is an "item" and not clothing or armor or the bases of either

you should make it a Apron (full or half based on itemid) and then just remove this part: " : base( 0x153b )
"
that way it can be worn

also using a time for it is not a good idea, get lots of these out there and get lots of timers causing system lag
might want to consider basing it on world saves, or an other timer all ready in use in game
or having checks for it also in basearmor for damage or in the onecraft if used for crafting, etc to wear it out

What would a good way to make soo cloths will have time limte to how long some one can have it then it gose away like affter a week

[Lord_Greywolf]

just have a creation date for it

add in 2 new variable of
public DateTime creationtime = DateTime.Now;
public double wearabletime = 7.0;
make sure to serialize/deserialize them

then at the end of the reader section add in
if(creationtime + TimeSpan.Days(wearabletime) > DateTime.Now) Delete(); (or something like that - may not be exact)

this way you can also set individual items to have longer/shorter time spans by setting the wearabletime in their constructions to something other than the default

of course you need daily restarts fro this to be any good (and they are smart to have for clearing out memory, unusable items, etc)
