A head-to-toe layering system assembled over years rather than purchased at once. The base is a long-sleeved thermal compression shirt in faded ash-gray, its original branding long since worn to illegibility, seams reinforced with overlapping strips of orange self-repair tape that have themselves begun to fray at the edges. Over that sits a quilted vest of salvaged insulation panels — mismatched grays and a single panel of rust-brown — stitched together with thick black upholstery thread in visible X-patterns. The outer layer is a hip-length work jacket in washed-out olive canvas, its left sleeve replaced entirely with a sleeve from a different jacket in charcoal wool, and its collar stiffened with a strip of recycled polymer sheeting to deflect acid-rain splash. Both chest pockets are reinforced with riveted leather patches. Cargo pants in dark charcoal synthetic twill hang heavy with accumulated gear — four deep pockets on each thigh sealed with mismatched industrial snaps, the knees double-patched in rubber-backed fabric for crawling on Shelf grating. A worn leather belt carries a utility loop on each hip. Boots are a resoled pair of thick-soled work boots, the uppers cracked and sealed repeatedly with black rubber sealant compound, the toe caps re-wrapped in salvaged steel plate fixed with pop rivets. A knit balaclava in dark gray — hand-stitched where moth damage opened holes — can be pulled up to cover the lower face against acid mist.
