The entire outfit was designed around one simple idea: it had to feel practical and believable for Alternia. Given Kankri's background, the best he could realistically hope for is the help of a few rustblood blacksmiths hiding in resistance camps, so every piece of clothing should look like something that could be stolen, scavenged, traded for, or put together by hand. The color palette reflects that philosophy as well. Most of the outfit consists of muted grays, blacks, and washed-out tones that help him blend into his surroundings. The only striking accent is red, and even that remains almost entirely concealed beneath his cloak, only becoming visible when he takes it off.

The first layer is just regular underwear—which, thankfully, can stay off-screen. Over that comes a lightweight, futuristic take on chainmail. Like Karkat, Kankri is primarily a melee fighter, so protecting his torso and forearms is essential. The chainmail and bracers provide solid protection against close-range attacks without sacrificing mobility.

The next layer consists of loose-fitting trousers: a reworked version of the Pants of the Righteousness. Instead of the original skin-tight, waist-high leggings, they're now a pair of baggy pants that are intentionally a size too large, as if they had been borrowed from someone else. Cloth wraps around the calves keep the excess fabric from getting in the way while also serving as a little nod to the Seer's pajamas. The footwear follows the same philosophy. Lightweight, flexible, and nearly silent, the boots are designed for speed and stealth rather than protection. His legs are left almost completely unarmored, making them an obvious weak point, but it's a compromise Kankri willingly accepts in exchange for maximum agility.

Over the chainmail he wears a loose tunic with slits along the sleeves, giving his shoulders a full range of motion and allowing him to swing a weapon freely from virtually any angle—an important advantage in close combat. The outfit is finished with a red sash, serving as a subtle mark of identity and making it easier for allies to recognize Kankri amid the chaos of battle.
