Sheriff's Duster (Fallout 3)

The Sheriff's Duster and Sheriff's Hat are pieces of clothing in Fallout 3. Both suit and hat are worn by Lucas Simms, the Megaton Sheriff, and the hat is also worn by Sonora Cruz. As a unique variant of the Regulator Duster, the outfit bears resemblance to a trench coat, adorned with a silver sheriff's badge on the chest.

The duster provides a damage resistance of 5 as well as bonuses of 1 to Charisma and 5 to Small Guns. The hat has a DR of 1 and a bonus of 1 to Perception. Both cannot be repaired except by merchants. (The Sheriff Hat can be repaired, if you get the Lawbringer Perk, and use the one Sonora has as the repair item. But you then scrafice one, when there is only two in the game. So it's best to let the merchant repair it for you. Having the Point Lookout Add:on you can use the Haley merchant there to repair both, any items to 100% condition.)

Obtaining Duster and hat can be found on the body of Lucas Simms, after he has died, been killed by the player character or reverse-pickpocketed. They are easily obtained by not saving Simms from Mister Burke's attack in The Power of Atom.

The hat can also be acquired from Sonora Cruz by reverse-pickpocketing if you have the Lawbringer perk.

NPC reactions
If your character is wearing the Sheriff's Duster, some residents of Megaton will occasionally comment about it when they see you: Other NPCs treat you as de facto sheriff:
 * Jericho will say "That badge don't impress me, kid."
 * Harden Simms isn't impressed either: "You might wear his badge, but you're not my dad."
 * Colin Moriarty comments that "You got a lot of nerve wearing that badge in here."
 * Confessor Cromwell says "Light shine upon you, Sheriff."
 * Billy Creel asks "What can I do for you, Sheriff?"
 * Andy Stahl is annoyed but will ask "Can I help you, Sheriff?"
