In traditional medieval culture, padded armor is one of the most common armor types as heavy plate or chain armor requires quite a lot of craftsmanship and skill to make. Not to mention the material. So, I propose giving tailors an armor craft, that is weaker than leather armor, but uses material that is generally cheaper and perhaps lighter. This would make for great new player armor, if they plan on hunting wild animals.

I think padded armor should be added, but instead of just being another tier, it should be more effective against bash damage, while metal armor should be more effective against slashing and piercing damage.
Leather armor is harder than one might expect, so I think it'd either be better against slashing/piercing like metal, or a jack-of-all-trades.

Padded armor was often worn under metal armor or on its own, so the two should be able to be layered, but I don't know if the code would support that.
