The Formal Vest is a clothing item added in the Royalty DLC. Male Nobles of Baron rank and above require either one of these, an eltex vest, or power armor to consider themselves properly dressed and avoid a negative moodlet. The Female equivalent is the Corset.

Acquisition

As a complicated garment, Formal Vests can only be made at tailor benches, which requires Complex Clothing & Noble Apparel to be researched in order to be constructed. A Formal Vest requires 45 of any textile, and 12,000 ticks (3.33 mins) of work.

It can also be found on Imperial Nobles, for sale at traders and as a quest reward.

Analysis

Formal vests, along with their female counterparts - corsets, are unique in the noble clothes in that they don't have a direct regular clothing equivalent. Instead they take the slot of a flak vest. Compared to flak vests, even the most protective formal vests provide dramatically less protection than a flak vest, with a masterwork thrumbofur formal vest having about as much sharp protection and worse blunt protection than an awful flak vest.

Despite their superior protection, flak vests do not meet a noble's clothing requirements however. In this case, equipping the noble with Prestige recon armor, Prestige marine armor, or Prestige cataphract armor when expecting combat is by far the superior choice, as all three both offer significant protection and meet the clothing requirements.

Female pawns will receive a mood debuff while wearing this item.

Trade

As of 1.2.2900, formal vests and corsets are the most of efficient method of turning textiles into products for sale, assuming the Royalty DLC is enabled and equally skilled crafters and constructors available. Without Royalty, this role is instead taken by armchairs and dusters. This also represents a way to train skills while also profiting from the pawn-hours invested.

Note that this is only a general rule - other considerations can exist. If a skilled crafter is unavailable, or a particularly skilled constructor is, armchairs may still be a better option due to the effect of Quality on Market Value. Additionally, generally speaking when crafting or constructing a Skill Level 6 or above to guarantee, no matter the material chosen, that selling the product is more profitable than selling the materials. However, the exact skill level each material becomes profitable depends on the Work To Make of the item, the number of materials required, and the market value of the material. Lower value materials are profitable at lower skill levels. For example, cloth corsets require only a crafting skill of 1 with a average market value modifier of 68% to average a value higher than the 67.5 Silver of selling the cloth itself, while the most expensive textile, thrumbofur, requires a skill level of 5 to do the same. Thus, a skill level of 5 is sufficient to average profitable for formal vests for all available materials.
