    Normal people should start getting suits of armor. Like with modern technology it shouldn't be too expensive to make an unornamented suit, especially if there is enough demand to start mass production. People can wear them to formal events like weddings or you can be a dapper little fancy lad and go to the grocery store in your suit of armor. And once you get home you can hang it up in the hallway as a cool decoration.

        Oooh I know a fun movie fact relating to this. During the switchblade fight in 'Rebel Without a Cause" James Dean and the other actor were wearing chainmail under their leather jackets to protect themselves.

        Either its true or my film lit teacher was lying but she was pretty cool so I want to believe.

      Depends heavily on what you want. Shitty, poorly fitted munitions armor that will rub everywhere and never feel quite right? Very cheap. Anything fitted that offers good protection and mobility? Ridiculously expense because it has to be hand made by craftsman to spec.
