Just something I've been discussing with my GM. Obviously Dark Heresy will sometimes provide scenarios in which you have to go lite on the gear. Situations where walking in with a rocket launcher strapped to your back, and a Power Axe on your belt will give the wrong impression. So concealed weapons can sometimes be a boon. Fortunately, there's some rules on concealing weapons-- notably the Compact rule for guns, and something like a knife could be hid easily enough. Hell, in the right social situation a sword may even not be unexpected wear, anyways.
But armor seems to be a whole different ballgame, and I was wondering on whether or not it's feasible to hide any kind of armor type underneath your clothing. I was hoping that this could be done with Mesh armor, but my GM's been a little disparaging of this, suggesting that Mesh armor would still be noticeable if you hid it under your clothing-- ie. You could do it, but it wouldn't be too hard for an observing eye to notice you're wearing armor underneath your shirt.
Are there any armors that are any better for these sorts of situations, or that might be "socially acceptable wear" as it were?
