Well, if you are looking for economy, can I suggest black bear leather armor? I sell it for 1500 trues, and make a hide version for 2000 true.
I can also sell you a few different boots, boots of the boar are popular for those on a budget. With a little more information about what you are looking for (especially whether you want leather or hide armors) I may have other suggestions, or you can browse
my listing in the trade hall for details. Feel free to contact me if you'd like to see anything I sell, or to arrange a fitting.
