Just wanted to let anyone else know that select linked is depending on what select mode you are in.
I.e., if it's in vertex select (1), edge select (2) or face select(3).
So even if clothing patches are connected by edges you can select the different islands by being in face select mode and using L. I'm using Blender 3.3 so maybe this wasn't a function when Kent was recording this lesson.
Wow Jimmy RRelateableArtist ,
Thanks, that is an amazing tip!
I never realised that you can do that.It makes total sense that that would work, but I never thought of trying that.
This is not a new feature by the way.
