I got no armor right now, unless you count a SPES jacket and a mask.
When I actually get my shit together and roll up my character, I'm going to get a thigh (or knee)-length gambeson with some simple shoulder cops. Maybe greaves, couters, bracers, and knee cops in the future. Maybe a breastplate or a brigandine later. Maybe.

Leather can be cool when it's played to the strengths of the material and not just be a lazy man's steel plate.
Leather scale? Yes
Some kind of leather lamellar? Definitely
A solid leather cuirass? Questionable
Studded leather? No.
