Dont get me wrong....I can totally see a cape clasped onto a heavy chest piece. I would like to see both...done correctly.
Reinforced "heavy armour" cloaks did exist historically. Typically they would have metal rings or even plates sewn on to them, with enough spacing to allow them to still be flexible. They weren't popular for obvious reasons. They're heavy (which could be said of all metal armour, but they would have felt much heavier because of how poorly the weight is distributed), and they're not all that effective. Probably the only people who would ever use them would be people who didn't want it to be known that they had some form of armour (ie. the metal rings or plates would be sewn in between 2 layers of cloth so that people would hopefully think that the wearer just had a regular cloak), or people without a lot of sense. When you get down to it, they're just flat-out a bad idea.AlexDougherty wrote: »Dont get me wrong....I can totally see a cape clasped onto a heavy chest piece.

Yes, I can see a cloak attached to Heavy Armour, it could be either cloth or leather, just hoping they don't try to introduce metal cloaks for heavy armour.
Chain mail cloaks would probably just be a chain pattern on a cloth base, and metal fabrics wouldn't work right (in my opinion)
