I might be inclined to give them something to wear under armor, I'm just not much of a fan of decking them out in cloaks and hoods. Using that for protection makes me feel silly.

Now, if I knew that extra layers of metal armor did nothing, I'd skip at least two of my regular three mail shirts and replace them with a shirt or something, and let them wear trousers under greaves. Socks are out, though, unless you can me how to equip them without ending up with two socks on one foot and a boot on the other.

I don't even bother with clothes. They are just going to rot off and clutter the floor anyways.

Actually, clothes do provide some protection. From what I've heard, dresses* provide the most coverage. Material matters, too. Normal cloth isn't great, leather and possibly silk are decent, and the special spoilerific stuff works best(but wears out like all clothes do). And you can assign clothes as part of the uniform.


*Even for guys. And you won't be saying his dress looks stupid if he's four feet tall, armored in full steel, carries a huge axe, and is charging your way screaming profanities and battle cries.

Aside from that... well, I've never tried having an equipped military... yet, so I know only what's on the Wiki... and there they post setups of maximum amount of items worn. I don't know what to think of that...

I've had good results from a simple setup of 1 breastplate, 1 helm, etc, and usually don't have the resources and/or patience to over-equip them.  At some point I may just burn through some stacks of leather and deck out my military in hoods and cloaks, but the simple armor works very well.
