In 2075, you’d have to be crazy to consider walking outside with just a tee-shirt and jeans, even in some of the nicer parts of the Sprawl. You need protection: from the acid rain, from air pollution, from ultraviolet radiation from the completely fragged ozone layer, and of course, from random street violence.
Advances in ballistic fabrics from spiderweave venlar threads to ceramic-titanium composite plates enable modern armor to be lightweight, flexible, and concealable. For game rules dealing with armor, see p. 168.

Clothing in 2075 comes with amazing features you’ll likely completely take for granted. Commlinks, music players, and other electronic devices can be woven right into the fabric, powered by interwoven batter ies or special energy-gather ing fabrics. On the other side of the economy, cheap soybased “flats” can be had for five nuyen per ar ticle of clothing from vending machines around the Sprawl. The more money you spend on your threads, the more impressive you look.

- Changing your clothes’ settings is a Free Action, and while it’s not good enough to be camouflage, it can display images, text files, or flat video from your commlink.

Electrochromic threads can change color with voltage, letting you alter the color of your clothing or display text, images, or patterns. This is good for fashion, but great for vanishing into a crowd if you need a quick costume change. You can even get armored clothing in electrochromic styles. It takes a Simple Action to change the settings on your electrochromic clothes, but a couple of Combat Turns to complete the change.

- Looking forward, expect next year’s designs to host amix of Native American and old American styles as theOlympics, held in Seattle, will be the place to highlightfashion in ’76.
- Armanté has always been a leader in the armored fashionfield in terms of quality product, but while they manage tobe aces in that category, their lines have absolutely zerointerchangeability. You obviously cannot mix fashionsfrom different years, as they change radically, but evenmixing pieces from the same year is a challenge. The cutsand styles of their pieces look terrible if mixed.
- Taking a look back, we can see that Armanté lookedto Sub-Saharan Africa to influence their ’74 line, likelydue to a heavy push on the Kilimanjaro Mass Driver—aproject that still hasn’t been fully brought online, I mightadd. I actually thought Armanté was taking a seriousfashion forward leap in ’73 when they came back onthe scene with a totally retro/post-apocalypse-chic lookpulled from the styles of 1920s America blended withsomething out of an episode of Dark Futures.
- Dark Futures! I love that show. The “What If?” take onsome of the recent major world events is awesome.
|
This year’s line is heavily influenced by the worldwide outcry of support for Aztlan against the eco-terrorist forces of Amazonia. Neo-Aztec influences define the styles of Armanté this season. This isn’t surprising to those of us who keep our ears open to the shadows, as Aztechnology was a major supporter for Vitorrio Armanté’s shadow war with Zoé to recover the rights to the line name back in ’73.

- High-end enough to get you into some of the nicestestablishments but not completely out of reach for theaverage runner.
- Problem is, this stuff has become almost a dead giveawayof runners working places that are outside their incomebracket. And on top of that, they have a high enoughresale value that wearing them makes you a target for thescum that live in your neighborhood.
- I like the mix-n-match option Mortimer promotes,especially since their pieces can be mixed across yearswithout creating a total fashion faux-pas. Look for thisstuff on the resale market if you’re on a budget. It workswell with Armand’s “lightly worn” stock, too.
|
Not exactly fashion-forward, but classic enough to always stay near the height of fashion. Mortimer has stuck with the classics, anchored around the venerable Berwick line. All pieces are custom tailored and fit, and I especially love that they include custom tailoring to fit “exceptional physical aspects” of their individual customers. Original pieces have to be sat for with a Mortimer certified tailor.
I have a pretty solid stock of “lightly worn” Mortimer from some of his past lines. They lack the custom-cut features, but they can still have the important effect of making you look classier than you really are. The Crimson Sky and Summit lines from back in the early ’60s have aged quite well. And though they lack some of the wireless perks of many modern armors, they still stop bullets.
