When you put power armor on there is a moment where all you clothes clip through the armor. I like characters with ridiculous amounts of stuff hanging off them, backpacks, looking like they are scavaging the wastes etc. I also like wearing the power armor frame with just the t51 torso. If you could combine the 2 I think it could look cool. The idea of frame worn for the carry weight and some protection. Also Nate being ex military might have worn t51 in the prewar.
