The Shell Suit Jacket is a light, glossy sports jacket in the bright style of the eighties. It is made for exercise and pairs with the Shell Suit Pants. It covers the torso and the arms.

Its strength is light warmth at a low weight. It keeps in some body heat and blocks some wind. Its cost is protection, because it stops very few scratches in a fight.

The jacket comes in several colours, including Black, Blue, Green, Pink and Teal. One plain version can be dyed. It is a very common find on clothing racks in shops and homes. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.

Wearing

The Shell Suit Jacket is worn in the Bulky Jacket slot. It covers the upper torso, the lower torso, the back, the upper arms and the forearms.

It keeps in a little under half of body heat and blocks a little under half of the wind. That suits mild spring and autumn days. It is too thin to keep a survivor warm in snow on its own.

Against zombies it stops only about one scratch in twenty. A plain Jacket stops one bite in ten and a quarter of scratches, and it keeps in a little more heat. The plain Jacket is twice as heavy, though.

Running and attacking stay at full speed in it. It weighs little, so it costs almost nothing to wear.

The Bulky Jacket slot clashes with a long list of torso pieces. The jacket cannot be worn with another jacket, a coat, a hooded jacket, a down jacket or a vest. Bulletproof vests, cuirasses, webbing, sport shoulder pads and breathing gear also clash with it.

The Shell Suit Jacket comes in 6 versions with the same stats. Only the look changes.

Locations

The Shell Suit Jacket is a common find. Clothing racks in any building hold one more than two times in three. Clothing storage rooms and pawn shops are just as likely. Department stores carry them about half the time. Clothing stores and shoe stores stock them on about a quarter of their racks. Bowling alley counters and changing room lockers turn one up now and then. Closets, bedrooms, motel rooms and attics hold them only rarely.

Notes

  • The jacket is a light warm layer for mild weather and costs nothing in speed.
  • The plain version can be recoloured with the Dye Clothes recipe.
  • The jacket burns, so a spare one can serve as tinder or fuel for a fire.
  • For fighting, a Leather Jacket is far safer, stopping one bite in five and two scratches in five.
