The Medical Coat is the long white coat worn by doctors and lab workers. It is a light outer layer that reaches from the neck down over the thighs. It is mostly a piece for looks, with some warmth and a little cover.
Its main strength is its reach. It covers the arms, the torso, the neck, the groin and the thighs in one piece. Its main cost is speed, since the long coat slows both running and attacks.
The coat is found in laboratories, hospital lockers and morgues. Like other cotton clothing, it rips into a Rag once it is worn out. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The coat gives moderate warmth and keeps out some wind. It suits a cool day, but it is thin for real winter cold.
It stops about a fifth of scratches on everything it covers. It also gives the neck solid extra protection. For heavy fighting, a jacket built to stop bites is the better pick.
The long coat slows running by about 7 percent and attacks by about 5 percent. The Suit Jacket gives the same scratch and neck cover, more warmth and a smaller running cost, but it stops at the waist. The Leather Coat covers the same parts and adds bite cover, double the scratch cover and rain cover, for the same weight.
The coat fills the Suit Jacket slot. It cannot be worn with a jacket, a hooded jacket, a bulky jacket, a down jacket, a sweater, a vest, a bulletproof vest, a cuirass or webbing. A shirt and a T-shirt still go underneath.
Tailoring
The coat is cotton. The Rip Clothing recipe turns it into a Rag, and any character can do that by hand.

- The long cut means the coat guards the thighs as well as the torso.
- The Leather Coat is a straight upgrade for the same slot and weight.
- A worn-out coat still gives a Rag when it is ripped.
