overwhelmingly cool duster
Plural: overwhelmingly cool dusters
With its long length and heavy leather mantle, this duster looks like it just walked off the set of El Dorado. You don't usually see coats like this any more, but it looks heavy enough to withstand just about anything short of an all out war with supernatural monsters. For day-to-day heroing, it'll be more than sufficient to keep your back protected and to make you even more of a hero than you already are. After all, the clothes make the man, right?
Of course, wearing something this striking is bound to attract attention. And judging by how secretly jealous everyone is of this awesome coat, you can bet your bottom nickel that it's going to be unwelcome attention. Thankfully, the coat has a few tricks up its sleeves to help even the odds.
