I do not see how an item/property of an item, that makes you immune to
fatigue is much like fortification.

Shirts and belts are linked to physical improvement, as for the
fortification armour enhancement an amulet, brooch, medallion, necklace,
periapt or scarab, or even possibly a ring would be more appropriate.
Though I would be more than willing to consider a silk shirt appropriate
for the fortification armour enhancement, if you consider the following:
silk as a tensile strength of 1154 MPa,
structural steel as a tensile strength of 250 MPa,
high strength steel alloy as a tensile strength of 690 MPa
titanium alloy as a tensile strength of 830 MPa
Silicon carbide (SiC) as a tensile strength of 3440 MPa
kevlar as a tensile strength of 3620 MPa
