Here's the skinny on BE clothing enhancements:

The stat bonuses you want are the field wear enhancements, and they can only go in a small number of items.

Any article of clothing which accepts more than 1 tissue will allow those tissue effects to stack IF and ONLY IF the schematic allows non-identical tissues. Unfortunately, there are no articles of clothing that accept multiple field enhancements. There are however pants and jackets that accept one of the field wear tissues and one of the medical treatment tissues.

The theoretical cap on those enhancement amounts is 20 for all except stun defense, which is 5. I've gotten up to 17.

The total cap per stat is +25. So with the bandolier/undershirt combo,I couldeither do +25 to warcry and intimidation(+17 two times with a cap of 25), +25melee defense(17 + 17 capped at 25)/+8stun defense(4 + 4),or +17 to warcry/intimidation and +17 melee defense/+4 stun defense.

this is what I have seen too, please confirm this.. I have an order of 100 000 creds standing and need to know this rather quickly

I have a form fitting undershirt +13 warcry +13 intimidation and a bandolier with def vs stun. FYI. you can't wear the bandolier ifyou are wearing a backpack, so you'll have to travel light.

Can you actually get +17 melee defense? I have some tensile tissues right now that are +3 melee defense/ +15 stun defense, and I was told it couldn't be the other way around, whereas you are saying the exact opposite...+17 melee defense would be a huge increase!

My apologies! I did get that backwards. I've gotten +17 stun/+4 melee defense. Truly sorry.

was wondering... are there any casual or field wear backpacks? if there are maybe those could be enhanced? I know you can put skill tapes in them, can they be BEed too?

Sorry, backpacks during the creation process do not have the optional slots that accept BE tissues.

How about a belt and backpack. Belt's can get BE enhanced also

I asked a master tailor about this before I bought my BE enhancements and belts cannot be used with the BE enhancements spoken about here. Really, your only options are an undershirt, and bandolier (maybe a hat?) if you wear armor.

Oh, my bandolier is +4 melee def, +15 stun def. and the shirt is +14 warcry +14 intimidate (I was mistaken in my previous post)
