Ambiguous Armor

Intro 
Ambiguous Armor is the catch-all category for armors that do not immediately find a clear place in the two other armor classification categories of Single-Make or Hybrid.
Since these armors are not easily identified or open to debate, the official policy is to make their tier-protection level that of the weakest material present. (As far as armors go Leather is the weakest, Chain is the middle tier, and Plate is the strongest.
Certain styles of armor are ALWAYS considered Ambiguous:
# Brigandine
## Repeating plates that are not interconnected by chain fall under ambiguous armor standards. Because the true effectiveness of this armor is debatable, it is classified as leather-tier.
### Even if the plates are metal.
# Cloth Covered Brigandine
## Because the material cannot be easily seen/identified. This armor is always considered leather-tier, regardless of whether or not the plates would otherwise be plate/chain tier if they were visible.
### However, kikko armor is exempt from this policy and is instead classified as chain-tier.
# Small, non-overlapping metal 'tags' weaved into a chain mesh
## Metal plates that are smaller than 2” by 3” and are interconnected by chain, are considered chain-tier.
## Metal plates connected by chain sections that are larger than 1”, are considered chain-tier.
## Tags made out of leather can never be considered chain-tier. They are always classified as leather-tier.
