Taking suggestions for clothing overhaul

[Wunderbot]

I've been working for several weeks now on a clothing overhaul that will focus on the following:

1) Add underused clothing (that doesn't have a reason for why it would be rare) to more level lists

2) Fix clothing using incorrect textures that are already in the vanilla files (For example, female lab coat)

3) Introduce tons of colour variants on all clothing so that settlers will all look far more unique

4) Introduce dirty versions for all clothing that looks practically perfect. It's been 200 years. Clothing degrades.

5) Make the pristine versions rare but not remove them entirely, making it a valuable and satisfying thing to find.

 

But, most importantly:

6) Introduce one-of-a-kind "legendary" clothing that encourages exploration.

 

Now, it's clothing after all, so don't expect anything major. But I need suggestions for new unique kinds of clothing, because I'm out of inspiration.

Some examples of what I have so far would be jumpsuits of several canon companies that you'll be able to find in their respective factories/HQs. Vault suits from other Fallout games that can be found in difficult locations. Bowling shirts. Hats and visors of commercial brands. But I need more, so suggestions are welcome!

 

Suggestions aren't limited to just point 6, ofcourse. Know of any misplaced textures, missing outfits, other clothing-related stuff you'd like to see? Let me know!

One important note: my skills are limited to textures only. I can't create models for new clothing myself.

Also a question, since I'm a bit torn on it: most companions have their own outfit that's so unique that I see no reason why any random settler would be wearing it. All except Cait. Do you think I should introduce different versions of her Corset outfit to random NPCs, or do you feel it would take away from Cait's feel as a unique companion? Do you think there's something unique I can give her instead to compensate? A unique colour version, changing her outfit completely, etc?

Here's a suggestion, and possibly a request.

 

I've made a revamp of the Synth uniform for my mod http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/15420/?tab=3&selected_game=1151&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Ffallout4%2Fajax%2Fmodimages%2F%3Fid%3D15420%26user%3D1%26gid%3D1151&pUp=1 But, a big part of that outfit is holographic addons, those addons have transparent texturing enabling an illusion of holographic screening on the body. Which also means one can put multiple hidden versions of the uniform in the same outfit piece.

 

The suggestion I'm pressing here is that if one would be able to make a mechanism for clothing with those addons switching material when in combat stance and exiting combat stance. The applications are many, light and glow effects marking the combat stance, dresses or handcuffs getting folded up when in need to fight, armor popping and transforming from basic to complex. Hooded clothes getting hooded in combat while staying unhooded in safety, the list goes on and on. You could literally walk around in an elegant dress that in combat transforms into tesla armor and if you have two or even more outfits you love you don't have to choose between them, they could appear on your player within certain circumstances automatically.
