I really don't want to have to rip up this lovely suit. My Uncle gave it to me, for Christmas!
On the other hand, I really don't want that mob outside to rip up my suit while I'm in it.
I'm going to have rip this up, aren't I.
I'd better actually wear this nasty torn suit. No one likes a naked person.
Walkthrough[]
After an aggressive encounter with the locals, the player is rescued by Beryl Markham who explains to them why the Wastrels outside were so upset, that Arthur's Proper Suit reminded them of the people that drove them out of Hamlyn Village.
To create a Torn Suit, the player will need a Rock and their Proper Suit at the Workbench at the end of the church. Crafting the Torn Suit will automatically put it on Arthur.

Transcript[]
Beryl: God, you're new here, aren't you? From the Parade.
Arthur: Yes, well, I ... how could you tell?
Beryl: Hah. Yeah. I'll tell you how to survive your next five minutes, and in return, you'll give me your socks.
Arthur: That's outrageous!
Beryl: Your funeral.
Arthur: Why are they so angry?
Beryl: Because that suit you're wearing reminds them of all the jolly, proper, decent Wellies who drove them out of their homes in the Village. And now we're all cold and starving to death. You better get a nice sharp rock and rip that to shreds.
Arthur: My uncle gave this to me. For Christmas.
Beryl: Or they'll rip you to shreds.
Arthur: Shit.
Arthur: I hadn't thought there would be so many.
Beryl: Yeah, it's like the latest groovy nightclub, isn't it? People get a bad batch of Joy, and it like flips a switch, and they can't take Joy any more. So they get chased out of the Village. Been a lot of bad batches recently.
Arthur: So what happens if I rip up my suit? They invite me for tea and biscuits?
Beryl: Then they don't really give a damn what you do. So long as you don't take things that don't belong to you, or go up and punch someone in the nose.
Beryl: Now you can survive the next five minutes. Cheerio!
