And what RPK worked out would also be quite incorrect because the weights for Clothing in LT is incorrect.

"Quite" is a little strong - it's exactly half, since the weights were doubled. It has a clear relationship with the correct answer, and WAS based on the most correct information available at the time ;)

EDIT:
This would be the amended Torso entry in full, weight adjusted slightly to produce almost exactly 10 lbs when multiplied by 3.05 because I'm a gigantic nerd.

Light Leather/Winter Clothing
DR 1/0* (needs a new footnote, as DR is vs cutting only)
$180
3.3 lbs
TL 0
Don 30 (extrapolated from other leathers, and frankly winter clothing takes time to assemble so I'm comfortable with this).

Special Features: Comfortable, counts as cold-weather survival gear if fully covered.


Interesting notes - almost twice as expensive as medium leather, less than half as protective, a third the weight. "Half" of medium leather would be DR 1 against everything but impaling. DR 1 against nothing but cutting is enough worse that I'm comfortable calling it a third the protection and therefore appropriate to the weight. High cost is obviously due to enhanced attention to comfort (as this is clothing, not armor).
