The '''expensive suit''' is a piece of [[armor]] in [[SLASHTHEM]], filling the innermost ([[shirt]]) armor slot.

The expensive suit is the starting armor for the [[Undertaker]] [[role]] in SLASHTHEM. This is a feature carried over from [[NetHack-- 3.0.10]], the source of the role. The [[Slash'EM Extended]] Undertaker starts with [[Victorian underwear]] instead.

Like other "shirts", the expensive suit has an [[AC]] of 0, and so does not add to your armor class unless [[enchant]]ed. However, the suit has a [[magic cancellation]] of 2 ''and'' gives a +2 bonus to the wearer's [[charisma]].

==Strategy==
These benefits make the expensive suit a better choice for the "shirt" slot than the [[T-shirt]] and [[Hawaiian shirt]]: instead of raising prices, shopkeepers will actually charge lower prices because of the customer's increased charisma from the stylish suit.

Whether the suit is better than [[Victorian underwear]], which grants MC 3 at the cost of a penalty to AC, depends on the player's circumstances. A player who has no other choice of MC 3 armor—for example, a spellcaster, [[Monk]], or [[Jedi]] who cannot wear a [[mithril coat]] and wants to wear a [[cloak]] other than a [[cloak of protection]] or [[cloak of magic resistance|magic resistance]], or a player who simply has not found any other MC 3 armor—may prefer the underwear for its magic cancellation. But in general, the suit's charisma bonus makes it arguably the best "shirt" in the game.

==Artifacts==
The expensive suit is the base item for an artifact, '''the Gambler's Suit'''. This unaligned artifact grants [[protection]] while worn, acts as a [[luckstone]], and grants an extra +3 charisma, in addition to the standard charisma bonus.
