The cloth & leather brig? Yeah, just cut out some regular geometric shape then sew it in to cloth. You'll want to use heavy cloth and heavy stitching if possible.

Also, make sure to keep the gaps between the plates < 0.5".

Has to pass for armor on its own.

3.5. The minimum thickness for leather Armor is 3/16 inch. The minimum thickness requirement can be achieved by layering up to two pieces of thinner leather.


3.7. Composite Armor

3.7.1. Studded, scaled, or brigandine Armor can only be counted as Armor if 2/3 of the target area is covered by metal or leather, or the studs/rings/plates are no more than 1/2 inch apart.
3.7.2. Composite Armor must be identifiable as Armor by appearance.
