	An armored coat is a type of armor which is usually seen in more sophisticated, even civilized, settings. An armored coat is a massive leather coat, reaching to the ankles, with panels of light whalebone and heavy layers of linseed-treated top-grain leather in discrete spots for additional protection. Because the coat is not strapped to the body and merely rides on the shoulders it encumbers as medium armor, slowing your movement. But the huge advantage is the ease with which you can slip it on and off. Getting fully armored as a move action is a major advantage! An armored coat can be worn effortlessly over normal clothes, but will not fit over any other sort of armor, so don't try stacking it with other armors. Due to its thick leather construction and good body coverage, it adds 3 points of protection against cold weather environmental effects, which stacks with cold weather clothing and other sources of environmental DR. Note: Mechanically, this item is an 'Armor slot' item, meaning it will stack with 'body' and 'chest' items but not other armor items. This type of armor may be constructed from scavenged materials at no cost, but doing so requires a full day.
