I really like that texture on the dress which is it if I may ask.

Don't remember the geck-name offhand but I think it's the same one used on the Bright Brotherhood robe. The dress and the male hoodie both use it, but it wraps differently for each outfit. I also defined a different texture on the male arms and the female's legs. Some clothing meshes, while still mainly the one-piece body suit, do have minor other areas you can define.
The clothes mods have made tend to be easier to retexture due to often not being one piece suits like vanilla assets.

Yeah, I've noticed that. I don't have the patience for all that work tho...I tried once ages ago and it was...a lot of work. Especially if you start trying to make your own textures or something.
I wrapped a 50's clothing in a Sunset Sars. billboard texture once...it made Boone look like he was dressed for a wild Florida vacation. Haha, hilarious.

Having taken another look with fresh eyes, you're very right the bonnet does look too pasted on.

I think one problem is the very wide, black edges. It cuts the edge too cleanly or something, like thick crayon, perhaps, making it look not quite natural.

I don't really have any patience either, except on Oblivion.
The pc's and roles that formed were of PS: Torment characters gated into Tamrial after PS: T's end so they needed something special.

Yes the black edge is a typical model painters way to define areas, I use it commonly.
It breaks up blocks of colours and provides deeper shading, but needs to used finely.
Otherwise with it you lose the shape and create a broken piece effect to areas.
You notice on the outfits, especially if you take the merc troublemaker one it also uses it.
However fine lines to shade edges and groves.
The outfit throws in bold fleshy colours, washed dark tones as a base and and small metal details which suits its use.

Maybe if the band was a light faded green, some flower motiff or pastel it could look better.

The Bounty Hunter's Duster, it gives me the best compromise I want in armor DT, weight, and attribute bonuses. With the armor perk and one level of Toughness, I have a DT of 13 for 3 lbs. weight.

Topped of with the 1st Recon Beret and sunglasses.

I generally kill things before they get close enough to do harm to me, so I don't have to worry about repairing the armor often.

First Recon Beret
Authority Glasses
Vault 34 Security Uniform

Ends up being heavier armor than most medium armor (2 levels of toughness) and I can't stand how slow you move in Heavy.

Functionality predominately but it looks pretty cool.

I prefer the Sheriff's Duster for several reasons, not the least of which is the boost to Guns and Charisma. I don't worry about repair, since I am on the PC and just respawn a new one when needed. (Since it not being repairable is a bug, I don't consider it cheating.)



The Sheriff duster is one of my fav too although it has no DT . You can repair it once you get the perk Jury Rigging , with pretty much any kind of clothes .

My favourite is the Jailhouse rocker suit though , i see it as a tribute to Johnny Cash , a legend of the 50's who made a famous record at Folsom Prison .

The boomer suit is nice , looks good and has decent DT

Otherwise i love the Ranger red scarf outfit which has no DT . I don't like the armours much , the one i prefer is the stock combat armour . Reinforced leather armour can look good when your character is a melee weapon ninja like , but with my current Pat Garett character , i stick to nice looking outfits with low DT or no DT at all , i just pick the toughness perks and buy the DT implant , with an endurance of 7 and some chems ( and Cassidy Rose perk which adds DT when you drink Whiskey ) , it's more than enough most of the time

In FO3 it was the Ranger battle armor, but combat armor looks feels too bulky in NV for some reason.
I agree. this was my favorite armor until I could get PA

True. I just never bothered with that perk

Never thought of that reference. You know that it actually refers to "Jailhouse Rock?;" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpzV_0l5ILI

I think of all the clothing in the game, I have the greatest affinity for the Boomer's outfits. If they had comparable perks i would wear them.

Oh Thanks Edouard , i didn't know about this song and its title , the tune sounds familiar to me of course , i heard it many times when i was younger but since i'm not a native English speaker , i never associated this song and lyrics with the title/theme and never saw the clip , thanks for the link , indeed the suit is an exact copy of the one Elvis is wearing:)

I was almost sure it was reference to Johnny Cash lol , i thought the King is like Elvis (bright suit , girls around him , mr nice guy ) , and Pacer more like Cash ( the man in black , man who wants to do things his own way , problem with drug addiction at some point like Pacer ) , but obivously i had too much imagination :)
