Default [LT/DF] Sets of Armor

Using Bruno's table for pieces, I've come up with a few "sets" of armor. The in-universe explanation is that armorsmiths are more likely to sell the armors as sets rather than piecemeal, particularly stuff that can be bought "off the rack", such as mail suits, or are custom jobs, such as full plate armors.

My main concern is that I might have missed a few common sets of armor, or that I've given some sets incorrect pieces.

(No idea if Low-Tech has anything similar, but these might work well in a Fantasy setting, particularly one set in a Renaissance-like era or a Dungeon Fantasy setting.)
