       Wouldn't you look a bit peuculear?

       I dont know, what I do know though is that when the world ends I want to be lookin sharp, and I want to last long enough for people to notice that I dressed up for the occasion.

       It would be more universally effective if the suit were charcoal impregnated rather than lead-lined.

       A lead tux is really *not* going to protect you from all kinds of nucular mishaps, only the ones that do not hit you directly. And even then you'd have to have a bottled air supply handy.

       A thin layer of lead, that one might wear around won't do much good for hard gamma.   

       For example, locomotives and manned robots used in the nuclear aircraft engine and rocket engine programs had liquid filled windows about a meter thick and many centimeters of lead elsewhere. The robot weighed some 80 tons, and the locos were probably heavier than their unshielded counterparts by about as much.   

       Even with that level of shielding, they had to wait to approach the experiments because the dose rate was so high, 10^6 rad/ hr @ 30meters, and could not linger. Note that dirty bombs and conventional nuclear explosives won't have rates nearly as high, though, but an accident like Chernobyl could approach them.   

       In short no wearable, human bearable lead suit would do as much good as running away from a hot area as fast as one can to limit exposure time. All you'd need is a respirator and a Tyvek suit to avoid internal contamination.

       I'd love to see what a Cavalli nuclear-resistant outfit would look like.

       How about "The Young Ones" approach, paint yourself white to reflect the blast?

       Curie Vuitton? Louis Fission? Rads Lauren? Half-life Boss? I'm thinking there's potential for plenty of post-apocalyptic designer-label merchandise houses. <blatant call to arms> Help me out with some more names here, 'Bakers. </bcta>.

       Tres chic, le Geiger clic!

       'Hard Gamma'" is a great name for a drink, a band or a dog.
