The square-faced big man and his companions first returned to the hotel, where they put on the new form-fitting combat uniforms they had acquired before layering their previous clothes on top.
Territory production offered two types of standard combat uniforms, one form-fitting and one not.
The loose combat uniforms had superior defense, primarily in terms of thickness and hardness, while the form-fitting ones, designed to be worn close to the body like underwear, offered slightly less defense. However, they allowed for an additional layer of protective gear to be worn over them. It was debatable which was superior.
As for Awakeners who wore both the form-fitting combat suits and layered regular ones over them... there were a few, but not many. Even the regular combat suits were relatively snug, and this way of dressing affected mobility.
