Sheriff's Duster (Fallout 3)

The Sheriff's Duster and Sheriff's Hat are pieces of clothing in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. The duster provides bonuses of 1 to Charisma and 5 to Small Guns. The hat provides +1 to Perception.

In Fallout 3, the duster has a damage resistance of 5, and the hat has a DR of 1. Both cannot be repaired except by merchants.

In Fallout: New Vegas, neither article has a damage threshold, so they cannot be repaired by merchants. Repair is only possible by randomly finding another one, or through the Jury Rigging perk.

Obtaining
In Fallout 3, The outfit can be found on the body of Lucas Simms or pickpocketed. They are easily obtained by letting Mister Burke kill him in The Power of Atom. The hat can also be acquired from Sonora Cruz by pickpocketing if you have the Lawbringer perk.

In Fallout: New Vegas, the outfit can be obtained from the town of Primm, inside the Sheriff's shack. In addition, Freeside thugs may occasionally wear one.
