i LOVE the leather armors idea, but aesthetically it looks horrible, with that shoulder pauldron.... i get that its mad max inspired, but couldnt they have made the reinforced version look cleaner and less thrown together?

It's the only armor I wear in the game, because I LOVE the way it looks.

It's nice to know between trying to scavange and farm for survival, warding threats, and a constant source of water, people have time to make their armour nice and squeaky clean.

It looks like it is something people make in the wasteland. Shoulder pauldron is pretty handy against wild animals.
