SPECIAL FEATURES
- Terentatek Leather is notoriously resilient against Force powers, even immune to them in some cases. Among those things to which this material offers no resistance however, are: Mentalism/Illusion, Force-enhanced strength, Telekinesis, Force Push/Crush (only partial resistance at best), and other reasonable exemptions. Areas not covered by the coat enjoy no protection.
- VT-Lattice Cloth is a lightweight but terrifically strong material, offering High protection against blasters and other plasma/energy weapons as well as Very High resistance to lightsabers and similar weapons, due to the Phrik used in its making, which also accounts for protection against bladed weapons, such as vibroblades.
- Baffleweave serves to confound scanners and sensors, enhancing stealth slightly as it enables the user to conceal what lies beneath the coat or inside any of its hidden pockets.
- Made of exceptionally high quality by the finest tailors, it is custom-fitted for John to wear, and cut to allow maximum freedom of movement.
- Of the finest quality, the stylish black leather trench coat offers a touch of danger be it on the bridge, in the boardroom, or in the nightclub, it is made to exude class, style, and wealth: A true 'Power Coat'.
- The triple-layered VT-Lattice Cloth and Baffleweave inner-lining provide elements of protection from blasters, bladed weapons, and lightsabers, and enhanced stealth for the wearer; while the terentatek hide leather shell provides very high protection against lightsabers and similar weapons.
- The finest-quality lashaa silk lining ensures a cool, soft feel making the coat wearable for long periods of time.
- Treatment of the leather has sealed it against moisture and rain, and helped to make the coat windproof and immune to fading or loss of color as well as highly-resistant against abrasions and tears.
- Provides no protection against EMP/Ion attacks, sonic weapons, and very little against kinetic damage, beyond the usual protection offered by the materials used.
- Is not insulated against cold or other hostile environmental scenarios beyond rain and wind; won't protect against acidic or radioactive environments, chemicals, or exposure.
- Is custom-fit for a single wearer, and would likely be uncomfortable for someone not having John's exact measurements.
A gift, made for John by Visanj T'shkali who commissioned the work done by the House of Duralis. This coat was meant as a compliment to John's overall sense of fashion, and as a 'thank you' for his friendship and guidance. The Baroness wanted it to reflect a sense of dignity and station, and spare no expense in the materials used. Made with four hidden pockets, concealed into the dual baffleweave layering inside (2 on either side) this coat provides ample room to conceal a great number of items. Each pocket provides enough space for a small holdout blaster-sized object, and conceals the contents perfectly. Only a very close inspection will locate these. It's double-breasted design provides excellent protection to John's torso, upper legs, and arms. Two outer handwarmer pockets are also placed on each thigh. The coat also has adjustable cuffs, allowing them to be worn open or more snug, as John prefers, and a wide lapel and collar shield his neck and throat when closed.
