Layered armour

Reading up on medieval armour, seems a lot of the armour set in the game were often worn together IRL, with scale, brigandine, or plate armour being worn over mail, which itself was worn over a gambeson or buff coat. This is represented in-game to an extent, with chain armour being used to craft plate and scale armour, but this effectively "eats" the chain armour and prevents it from being used by itself or with other armours. I would propose a system where armour can be worn in three layers of slots, with the inner slots being required to be filled before the outer slots. This would reduce the significant opportunity cost involved with metal armours, allowing the player to craft earlier armours without worrying as much about "wasting" the material or effort, as different tiers could now be mixed and matched, e.g. bronze chain worn with iron brigandine.

 

Started this as a "quick suggestion" on the Discord but after taking an hour to finish it I realized it's probably detailed enough to be on the forums.

It would be really cool if you could stack the armors by just clicking them on top of each other.
Using a similar design to the Consolidating Items/Blocks suggestion, clicking an armor on another armor combines them.
Right clicking (like you would do to split a stack) would take an armor type off allowing you to split them once again.
