Alright, because I'm a glutton for complexity, here's an interesting option. Rigid armor straps can be replaced with chains of fine mail, requiring a cutting attack deal at least 8 points of damage to sever the straps. Each such chain weighs 0.5 lb and costs $30. Mail chains are a bit more difficult to work with than leather straps, increasing Don time by 20%. Optionally, they also result in a Stealth penalty (due to some inevitable rattling).
