“ A small holster worn on the ankle. ”

This is a very light clothing item made of leather, which covers 30% of your legs, and which has a bit of storage capacity. It barely occupies any space, doesn't encumber you at all, and will keep the areas it covers barely warm.

It offers very low protection against bashing attacks and very low protection against cutting ones (that includes bullets), while offering no protection from environmental hazards.

It has no extra particularities.

This clothing item can be repaired, fitted (if appropriate) and reinforced via the tailoring skill, by using a sewing kit or bone needle and leather patches.

Notes

Bootstraps are notoriously useless the way they are; since they're worn over your pants, you end up gaining two encumbrance due to the extra layers. If you want to fix this yourself, just go into /data/raw/items/armor.json, locate the "bootstrap" entry, and insert the following line: "flags" : ["OVERSIZE"],

In a post 0.9 release the bootstrap will get the skintight flag, making it easier to wear it underneath other clothing.
