I think padding armors like gambeson, probably just fall under the leather category for protection.What's the category for "Gambeson" / "Quilted Jack" / "Arming Coat"? I.e what are the "well-equipped peasants" wearing this season?
What about animal hides (of any type), a staple armor of the druid, ogre, and giant?
In the monster section I'm not going to try to determine what kind of armor each humanoid, giantkin etc is wearing specifically, their AC is just a number that represents their overall protection.
Hide will fall under leather for PCs.
