Dress for success!

The toque blanche and the straw hat let people know what job you’re doing. But the quiver and the Red Cross apron… those make certain jobs easier.

What if there was a smithy apron that let you dual wield tongs and a hammer? What if there where lumberjack suspenders that made chopping less hungry work? What if there was a mechanic that let you pass your uniform on to your protege? (Something more than just putting it on the ground for them to pick up.)

I had fun thinking of a few, so here they are, with a lot of gaps and room for improvement. If you want to brainstorm with me, I’ll edit this post to fill in what we come up with.

Requirements

Some things to think about in general.
- Pro must have a Con. It must have a down side to keep things balanced (quiver means no backpack, Red Cross apron doesn’t insulate).
- No alternative uses. It should only be worth it for someone who wants to do that job.
- Think about how griefers will use it. I’ll jot down griefable suggestions, but I’ll probably tag them, just to keep the creative juices flowing.
- Maybe it’s one time use, or decays if you don’t pass it directly to someone (protege).
- Bonus points if you can craft it while doing your profession.
- By the way, I wasn’t playing back during tool slots. If there is a lesson to learn from that, tell me. Don’t let me suggest something similar.

General Pros:
- simply makes easier to hold the constituent pieces of the job
- makes hungry work less hungry
- speed buff?

General Cons:
- no backpack at the same time
- lifetime binding
- must be transferred to not decay (protege)
- restricts horseback riding (all vehicles)
- less insulation
