I figured i'd take a moment to make a thread announcing my mod. Alot of people including myself seemed to enjoy being able to dress as they liked in Fallout 3 without suffering from bad armor so i ported my mod over to Fallout New Vegas.

2. Mod Description

*****************************************************************

It's back and better. This mod adds a large selection of
armor that's completely invible but provides damage threshold
and is equip on the slot BodyAddon3. This means you can use
ANY armor in game or from mods and get the damage threshold you
want without looking ugly. If you want to run around naked or
in skimpy underwear you can.

The weight of the items has been kept at 2 regardless of the
protection the armor provides. This is because there's such a
big variety of armor and some of it can be pretty damn heavy.
I have also included Power Armor variations which include
their enchanted effects.

These vests can be purchased at Goodsprings from Chet. Since
people like outfitting companions, caravans, towns, nations
ect in armor i made the vendors hold 20 copies of each vest.
If you need more than that all i can say is wow.

In game the vests have been numbered so the weakest appears
first and the strongest appears last. Below are the variations.

NOTE: Since these armors don't appear on the character they
don't seem to take damage during combat and thus do not need
repairing.
