Sheriff's Duster (Fallout 3)

The Sheriff's duster and Sheriff's hat are pieces of clothing in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. 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.

Obtaining
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.

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 and says: "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?"
