Vault jumpsuits are clothing articles in Fallout 3.
Background
A rugged jumpsuit variant designed for heavy use among Vault-Tec machinery and infrastructure. Rather than extruded rubber, the suit uses a combination of denim and natural leather,[1][2][3] combined to create a particularly rugged piece of equipment. The suit is less form fitting than other jumpsuit variants, but provides a good deal of comfort. Like other versions, it's a single-piece uniform, with a zipper down the front, leather armguards and spacious pockets on the waist and thighs. Reinforced elbows and knees give it extra durability under heavy use, with the interface port over the left breast used for a variety of purposes. Depending on the job assignment, the jumpsuit is designed to accommodate a variety of belts, including simple leather bands for children, rugged multi-purpose belts for general use and specialized equipment for utility, lab and security work.[4][Non-game 1]
Characteristics
There is a jumpsuit for every vault that appears in Fallout 3, although two of them are only found in the game files. It provides a Damage Resistance of 1 as well as a bonus of +2 to Speech and Melee Weapons, and can be repaired with other vault jumpsuits.
Dialogue
Other characters in game have unique dialogue for when the Lone Wanderer is wearing a vault jumpsuit. Lucas Simms will make a comment when the Lone Wanderer enters the town for the first time. In Megaton, Billy Creel, Jericho, and Leo Stahl will also make remarks about the suit. Instead of calling the player character a wastelander, other characters will comment on the Lone Wanderer being a former inhabitant of a vault.

- ↑ Conceptual Design: "The Vault Suit
Designing, or redesigning the vault suit meant adhering to canon, and updating the textures and tactile feel for the detail we can achieve now in games. I opted for a more durable denim like material, something quintessentially American and, suited to carrying out vault tasks involving heavy machinery and crawling through metal pipes.
Overall, the vault suit seems to represent an Everyman/Everywoman uniform of conformity, and a blank canvas for accessorizing once the wearer had escaped into the harsh environment of the wasteland. Preserving the retro 50’s flavor seemed to support this, and I wanted the suit to feel at home in a classic 50’s sci-fi film like Forbidden Planet. The reinforced elbows and knees seemed to introduce a bit of that flair to the otherwise oppressively Orwellian environment."
