I’ve been wondering this for a while, but how does the NCR manufacture their armor, and what materials are used in it’s construction? The NCR’s economy seems largely backed by expansion and the brahmin industry, with a decent manufacturing industry as represented by the Gun Runners, likely using salvage rather than extraction for resources like steel. So that makes me wonder the question then, since the NCR’s trooper (and patrol ranger) armors are clearly produced by the Republic, what textiles do they use to produce these? Additionally, are the armoring over the fatigues steel woven into a carrier, or maybe some kind of layered leather? What do you think?
whats the fabric made out of then? some kind of hemp or canvas
Probably. There are a number of plants that can be used for textile fiber. Aloe, Indian hemp, cacti, and other native examples can make for quality fabric (nettles also make for great fabric fiber).
I’m just not familiar with american ecology. I wonder if this means NCR textiles have much poorer threadcounts, maybe they have early industrialisation-style looms?
