Chinese jumpsuit

The Chinese jumpsuit and the Chinese commando hat are pieces of clothing in Fallout 3. They are a military uniform worn by Chinese armed and special forces during the infiltration of the Columbia Commonwealth, as well as other conflicts with the United States.

Chinese jumpsuit
The Chinese jumpsuit is worn by Chinese commandos when the Failsafe terminal is activated during the Tranquility Lane quest. It can not be looted from their bodies, as they will merely be rendered unconscious when killed.

Dirty Chinese jumpsuit
Its counterpart, the dirty Chinese jumpsuit can be purchased at Potomac Attire in Rivet City, found in the Taft Tunnels under the Jefferson Memorial, and found on Chinese remnants at Mama Dolce's.

One of these can also be gained from a dead Chinese commando in a random encounter. A radio signal from a Chinese Radio Beacon guides you to the commando's corpse.

Chinese commando hat
Also called the "Ushanka" in Russian, this hat provides the wearer with phenomenal cheek and ear protection, and is often made from animal furs and hides (such as rabbit or sheep).

Locations

 * Taft Tunnels under Jefferson Memorial, near the very hard terminal that Doctor Li hacks. The location can be reached via a secret manhole in front of the Citadel after The Waters of Life.
 * Inside the drainage chamber near Broadcast Tower KT8. It lies on the floor next to two long dead Chinese remnant spies.
 * In the Operation: Anchorage add-on, one is located on the sandbag wall encountered on the way to the Chinese Forward Base Delta. It is just before you see the American soldier executing Chinese soldiers. It has unlimited durability.
 * In the Cryo Lab in the Mothership Zeta add-on, it is in the southwestern most corner room behind a door that must be activated with a switch. The hat is on a table on your right when you enter the room.

Behind the scenes
It is a modified Zhongshan Suit (translation "Sun Yat-Sen suit", founder of the Chinese Nationalist Party). Mao Zedong has always been associated with this suit in Western press and thus it was incorrectly named after him Mao Suit in the English language.

The Zhongshan suit was an attempt to cater to contemporary sensibilities without adopting Western styles wholesale. Dr. Sun Yat-sen was personally involved, providing inputs based on his life experience in Japan: the Japanese cadet uniform became a basis of the Zhongshan suit. There were other modifications as well: instead of the three hidden pockets in Western suits, the Zhongshan suit had four outside pockets to adhere to Chinese concepts of balance and symmetry; an inside pocket was also available. Over time, minor stylistic changes developed. The suit originally had seven buttons, later reduced to five.

The suit was popular in the early 20th century in China. it is consider the standard/symbolic attire for the Chinese revolutionary forces that fought to create a Chinese Republic, as such use by both the Chinese Communist and Chinese Nationalist during their contest for legitimacy with the Chinese public. Even today, during special occasion, the Chinese president can be seen wearing this type of Chinese attire.
