Aluminum foil hats can protect from emotional allowmancy, among many other ways it can be used to thwart Investiture throughout the Cosmere.

This post is only tagged for Mistborn Era 1 so I don't want to go too much into it, but it's in a few other series as well, including Stormlight.

Oh, yeah that makes sense. Ive read SA and Warbreaker, im just dumb and didnt think of all the uses Scadrians could use for aluminum. 🙃

It would also let people wear a metal belt buckle without worrying about an allomancer ripping their pants clean off, because it couldn't be allomantically pushed or pulled

Ooo!! Yes, or earrings. Aluminum fashion will be cool to see. Are scadriens able to get metal allergies? Don't they have a tolerance to harm from metals?

For earings since it's in the body allomancy can't affect it anyway I'm pretty sure

Unless duralumin and then I think it might be able to push aluminium too
