"Our hoods, our masks, every stitch of clothing we wear is reinforced with Grisha steel. Corecloth created to our specifications by Grisha Fabrikators under our control and designed for just this purpose. You cannot force us to your will. You cannot harm us. This game is at an end."
Jarl Brum to Nina Zenik, Six of Crows


Corecloth is an exceptionally strong and flexible fabric that can withstand bullets. It was a Materialki invention and is used in making kefta for Grisha in the Second Army and the oprichniki.[1] Nikolai Lantsov also requisitioned corecloth for First Army soldiers.[2]

There are variations to corecloth, most notably the clothing worn by Jarl Brum and his drüskelle, specifically made by Fabrikators on jurda parem. This specific corecloth is designed to block a Corporalki's powers, even one on parem.[3]

Trivia[]

  • Corecloth's properties resemble real-life bulletproof vests used by law enforcement.
