Description
Pattern
A 2-piece suit made of a shirt and leggings. The shirt has an open neck and open cuffs at the wrists and ankles.[1] The suit is often worn with gloves,[2][3] the cuffs and gloves both being tucked under Vambraces.
Material
Usually made from a light gray fabric.[4] An exception is the black fabric worn by Alicia, Beth and on the limbs of Helen. This black fabric appears to stretch indefinitely.
Clamshell
The shirt is held in place around the shoulders by sewn-in metal plates that open and close like a clamshell.[5]
"Clamshell"
The "clamshell" apparently serves as the foundation for the Spaulders and sword Carrier. The back plate between the shoulders protects the warrior from being cut by her own sword when sheathed in the Carrier.[6]
The back plate has a hook, which resembles the hook used by the Initial Male Era in place of the later sword Carrier.
Usage
The shirt and leggings are worn without extra pieces of armor by trainees[7] and off-duty Claymore warriors.[8]
