Cloth is described as 'Ballistic cloth (bullet proof) jacket'. So about as concealable as the contemporary models I'd have thought.
Hi Guys-
From Book 1 cloth is described as:
Cloth— A heavy duty jacket/vest covering the upper torso and legs, tailored from ballistic cloth. Ballistic cloth absorbs impact energy, distributing the blow over the body of the target, and resulting in (possibly) severe bruising.
I always visualize it more overt than concealed - something like this
Having said that the game was rolled out before many textile advances existed so also would say you can get more concealable cloth, not quite as effective and more expensive.
Not immediately obvious other than adding some bulk but would show up on a scanner like airport security today.
I'll throw something in houserules. Call it TL11 cloth-1 effectiveness, cost 750 credits, weight 2kg (when not worn)
