Now I know its common sense that anything can be used for clothes but i would like to here some ideas as to what others are going to be wearing or how they will be altering .
Ill go first , i have a long black leather trench that i have had for several years and almost threw it away last year but now i am invisioning trench coat with added body armor and possibly some sort of chainmail sleeves or some other interesting metal like mesh thats flexible .
and i know this is straight out of a video game but pauldrons made from cut up football helmets would be pretty sweet . and maybe a lamellar breast armor made from old soda cans folded into small plates .

This is going to be a BIG Open subject. The range of things that can be used to make protective gear is endless.
I to have an old leather bike jacket I have almost tossed out a dozen times over the years, and it is the foundation for some interesting ideas for armor like protection.
The video games of today is a great place to pull ideas from. I do not see any reason why not to use them as a source of starting ideas, they are real world applications in a since of what we are doing here. They have a large group of designers who live, eat, and breath creative ideas which are just up our line of thinking.
I do not see any reason why something that is made for one thing can not be used to work for something else like your Football Helmet idea. I think it is a great uses of materials that are on hand.
The things that can be done with a simple street sign heh well the things I have made with some in the past.
I will posting real life pix of armor I make just to show what my warped mind can come up with, so We should just make this thread the place to do that.
