Armor that looks like clothes

[Chris246]

I am wondering if there are any armors out there that look like normal clothes. For example, a sleaveless shirt that still has the protection of a heavy armor? I want my character to look all 'barbarion' (sort of) like, but with still having all the protection as if he was wearing armor.

I have tried to find some on tesnexus.com but haven't had any luck.

Cheers for the help

Armors that look like that tend to be light armors, and not heavy. One that comes to mind, that has at least short sleaves, or maybe no sleaves, is the Savior's Hide, which you get from the Hircine daedric quest.

Another armor that looks like clothes, is the Apron of Adroitness, which you get from the A Brush with Death miscellaneous quest in Cheydinhal. But that has sleaves, and looks like a grey sweatshirt or sweater. It does look good when you pair it with leather greaves.

You could use the TES Construction Set to make your own armor clothes, but i one don't know how to do that can be a little hard. If u like i could make some clothes that have the same armor as a heavy armor. Just send me a private message to let me know if u want my help.

i know this isnt an answer to your question, but the reason barbarians dont wear armor is because it for the 'weak'! ive had an account(orc) who never wore any armor(pants maybe)

for that, merely find a shirt you like, do the mage guild recommendations then takre the soul stones from the displays in the guildhouses to enchant a shirt with shield bonuses. if afterward the title of mages guild mage annoys you, theft or assaulting on another meber will get rid of iot. tthen voila: armored shirt

SPOILER! You don't need to be a Mage if you have the Expansion that includes your very own Mage Tower. All you need is to go to it and read the book inside to activate it, then visit Aurilinwe at the Mystic Emporium to purchase Magetallow candles (around 2000 to 3000 gold, depending on Merc and Speech skills). With candles in inventory, activate the Altar of ENCHANTING. Select some normal clothing that suits your image, then you can either go the Soul Gem way using the best filled gems you have and a shield spell (remember all enchanting costs gold), OR, better, start the Main Quest and enter Oblivion Gates to get Sigil stones.
SAVE just before you grab a Sigil Stone, and try to get stones that have Fire, Frost, or Shock SHIELD (NOT Resistance), and reload until you do. Then activate the sigil stone and select a garment to enchant. Voila! Not only do you get shielding from the element concerned, you the SAME AMOUNT of normal SHIELD. The maximum shielding you can get this way, in total is 85%, which ain't to be sniffed at.End SPOILER

Of course, this can be seen as cheating, or at the least as stretching legit a long way, but it works wonders, esp for High Elves, who have serious elemental weaknesses.
