Frontier dress on a plain hazmat: no blueprint, the base suit's seven HQM, kits and tarps. As metal goes, it is one of the cheaper things you can wear.
Next to armour, this is a light way to spend high quality metal. Seven goes into the suit, less than half of what a metal facemask takes alone, and the facemask also waits for a Level 3 bench. The frontier look changes none of that. It is a skin, crafted by its owners from the plain hazmat suit blueprint, with nothing of its own to research.
The trade is in what the metal buys. The suit buys entry to hot rooms, armour buys a fight, and you can't wear both at once. So spend on the suit when the plan is loot. Its one-line game text promises no warmth, and the tarps, not the metal, decide how many you craft.
