Very curious to see the pattern of all the separate pieces of this armour!

There are some obvious parallels to take inspiration from, but I think it may be more instructional to consider the differences. What are the areas of the garment that might benefit from the rigidity/shape of a steel plate and where is it best to let the cloth be itself?
There seems to be a middle ground too, where the cloth is somewhat restrained but continues to behave as cloth...
Patterning the suit of armor makes more sense to me than patterning a tailored jacket. I guess that's why I am here!
